reloading other calibers
Quote from Reloader on November 12, 2010, 12:52 ami have an RL550B that is set up for .223 and love it. Now that I have my feet wet, I am wanting to start reloading other calibers such as 25-06, 300 win mag, 7mm rem mag, 30-30, 30-06, 7.62x39, and 35 rem. I am having trouble finding dies for most of these on the dillon website. Also, other than the caliber conversion kit and the quick change assembly, is there anything else that I would need?
Thanks, Ryan

Purchase toolheads in groups of three it is cheaper that way.
For the dies Dillon does not have I prefer Reddings. There is range of cost options. I get the 3 die sets (full length resize, neck size and seating die). That way you can neck size, until you need a full length resize and case trim)./larry
