Converting an SDB from 45ACP to 9mm

#1 · May 31, 2010, 8:29 am

Hello!

I just got a used Square Deal B set up for 45ACP, which I was able to buy really cheap. I want to use this beast to load 9mm, so obviously some parts must be replaced. Am I correct in assuming that I need to order the 9mm SDB Caliber Conversion Kit, the Small Automatic Priming System and some small primer pickup tubes to accomplish this? Do I need anything else?

Many thanks!

Cheers,
Frank from Haarlem, the Netherlands.

If you do not wish to keep the 45 setup intact, then you are correct. The 9mm conversion kit and priming parts are all you will need. If you wish to leave the 45 kit intact, then also order another toolhead assembly, #20113

Thanks for your reply. I don't need to keep the 45 setup intact, so I know what to do next... 😉

Cheers,
Frank.

do you need to order the complete small priming system $80+ or just the small primer slide assy $18 ??

To change the primer size on the Square Deal B, if you purchased the machine new from Dillon, the small primer slide assembly, small primer magazine and one small primer pickup tube are included with the machine.

If you purchased a used machine and it is missing these parts, you may elect to either purchase a primer slide assembly and the magazine and pickup tubes, or purchase a separate priming system and pickup tubes. Purely personal preference.

I am also converting to 9mm from .45 on a machine that is over 20 years old. I need the small priming system referred to in this post but do not see it listed in the catalog I receive periodically. What is the part # and cost ?
