Loading the 218 Bee

Greetings,Ho Ho Ho and the like :) I am looking to reload for the .218 Bee on my 550B. I need to know which shell plate and locating pins to use. The Dillon x-ref chart don't list this old caliber. The closest caliber on the chart is the .22-250 which uses a #1 shellplate and #1 locator pin. I figure some of the pros have done this before :) Any thoughts, thanks Larry

218 Bee uses the O shellplate, (#12013) and #3 locator buttons, as well as the A powder funnel. It is listed in the chart in the back of the instruction manual.
