redfisher Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I did do a search and for the most part got an answer, just want to dig a little deeper. Currently load super on an RL1050, thinking about switching to SC, I know it takes a different shell plate, but does it really need to. I just loaded 10 rounds of SC on my Super set-up and it seemed to work just fine. Am I missing something? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I think (not sure though, as I don't load SC), that the reason for the different shellplate is that the super shellplate holds the brass by the rim a bit....you may end up with some SC brass popping out of the shellplate on the sizing/priming/powder drop stations if the brass is not 100% engaged in the shellplate.

dansedgli Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) I load 38s. Some comp gets mixed in. Occasionally ill get a case mouth crushed as it comes out the back of the press and it is supercomp everytime. Id buy a new shell plate. Test 100 more and see what happens first. Maybe your plate is tighter than mine. Edited July 19, 2016 by dansedgli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellscomin Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Use a 223 shell plate. Supers will not fit in them, just remove the supers or 9mm at 1st station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bret Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 On a 650 Dillon recommends a ,223 shell plate, it is a tighter fit than the 9mm shell plate that is used for .38 Super.Super Comp is semi rimless, the rim is smaller than ,38 Super, if the case is sloppy in the shell plate, it can pull through on sizing and it may not give you consistent loads.For the cost of a shell plate, why take a chance?

MrRick Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I load for both (38 SC and 38S). I use the 223 shellplate to load 38SC because once in a while a 38S case will sneak into the bucket. Not that the load is a problem but my STI doesn't like 38S brass. The other issue I have is that if I use the 9mm shellplate for 38SC brass, the primers will not line up correctly.

a matt Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 A .223 shellplate weeds out the Super and odd 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfisher Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 A .223 shellplate weeds out the Super and odd 9mm. But on a 1050 switching shell plates is a PIA. Just got some SC Brass today and loaded 25 rounds with no issues at all (other than I forgot the One Shot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Yeah, Short Colt works fine in a Special shellplate. ....Oh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar15rick Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Well I was searching for something like this for some info. I will be getting a Dillon 650 here pretty soon and I load 9mm and 38 super Comp. I was thinking of getting the 650 with the 9mm conversion kit and just buy a 223 shell plate for it as well to load 38sc. Is that I will need if I'm using a case feeder or will I need the whole conversion kit for 38sc in order to use it with the case feeder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bret Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I use a 9mm she'll plate in my 650 for Supercomp, not had any issues. I use dillon case lube on all of my cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
