Reloading .35 Rem
Quote from Reloader on April 30, 2010, 12:47 amI'm considering reloading .35 Rem ammunition using my Dillon XL 650. Since Dillon does not stock .35 Rem dies or conversion kits I have examined LEE and other dies as a possible way to go. The show stopper at this point appears to be the shellplate and spacer buttons. I don't want to set up a seperate LEE press. Any ideas?

The only problem was in shell preparation which required lots of lubrication which was cleaned following decapping and resizing. With prepared shells I removed the decap/resize die from the XL 650 toolhead to allow shell feeding directly from the feed tube to the shellplate. I only have about 150 shells to load for a friend. Any comments would be appreciated.

The only other option I see that does not entail buying a seperate press seems to be to buy a shell plate for a smaller diameter caliber and machining the appropriate diameters for the 35 Rem.
