Reloading 7.62x54R and 7.5x55 on a Dillon 550B
Quote from Reloader on November 8, 2014, 1:35 pmI would like to begin reloading some 7.5x55 and 7.62.54R and would like to ty to find out what I would need to add to the 550 in order to do this. I have thought about just getting a single stage press but since I have space problem would be much better if this can be done on the 550.
So guess two questions can these be reloading on the 550 easily and anything else and what will I need to add in order to do these. Thanks for you help.Dennis

'7.5 x 55 Swiss 20432'. Need Dillon to expand on the kit parts. You may only have to purchase a few of the kit parts based on what you have already in supply.
