Powder measure and die questions
Quote from Reloader on December 22, 2013, 4:07 pmHello all,
I have a SDB with the original powder measure and I am about to purchase one maybe two SDB quick change kits and dies for 9mm and .45ACP. The SDB is currently configured for .45 Long Colt and I would like to just change out the tool head and powder measures. What parts other than K71-16378 and dies would I need to purchase to accomplish this?
Also, in the January Blue Press catalog on page 34, I was looking at the Dillon pistol dies and was wondering if these are compatible with the SDB or are they for the other Dillon presses and non-Dillon presses? It is not really clear on this.
Thank you.

The square Deal B uses a special die set. Regular Dies do not work. You would need to get a SDB Caliber Conversion kit, 9 mm (20241) and 45acp (20123) along with the SDB quick change (16378) to be able to leave the toolhead setup. The caliber conversion kit includes the carbide size die, expander/powder funnel, seat die, crimp die, shell plate, and locator buttons.

See pages 8 & 9 for SDB accessories. The dies on other pages are for our other machines

The only question I have left on this subject is, will a new fail safe rod assembly be part of the item 16378 as I am still using the original powder system or will the original fail safe rod work with the new powder system?

A rod is not included with the measure. If you need a rod, please phone your order in and we can throw one in with your order.
