Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Regarding taking it to Iraq. I don't think one can, but this is just for him to use while/when he is here Stateside. Thanks again. edit: that gunwiki conversion app it really cool

My landlady bought her son last Christmas an AR-15 in 6.8 SPC. She got all excited when she saw my Dillon 650 and began commenting how she could make ammo for her son. (She is ~75 and he in his forties and is heading back to Iraq in a few weeks). She wants to make a bunch of rounds for him for Christmas. I was thinking it is not that easy, but I want to give it a try, but couldn't figure out all the changes needed to convert from .45 ACP to 6.8 SPC. I have the 650 with the case feeder and extras. I shoot Bullseye and reload exclusively .45, maybe 15,000 rounds a year or so, so I am not a beginner reloader but know very little about rifle. I have a two part question: 1. What are all the additional parts to I need? (new shell plate? new dies? primer assembly parts?) 2. Are there any of the components for the 6.8 SPC that could also be used with the Garand and the AR? (I have a Garand bought from Camp Perry in 30-'06, and an AR-15 in .223/5.56 and thought that I could buy the parts that were able to be also used by me) I have the Deluxe quick change kit as well. Thanks very much. I usually post on The High Road but this seemed the right place as well for this inquiry.
