ShooterKen Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi all, I just learned of this forum from another board. Seems to be lots fo good information here. I"ve been loading on a 650 for quite awhile. I typically load .40 and .45 on the 650. I want to start loading for a Rem 260 so I called Dillon about what parts I need. The first time I called I was told the shell plate for the .45 was the same for the 260. The 2nd time I called I was told it was not. Does anyone know if this is true?

Jim Watson Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well. ONE of them is true. I don't load rifle on a Dillon, but my single stage shellholder is common for .45 and all standard rimless rifle rounds. Over on the Benos merchandise side is a chart of shellplates and buttons.

ShooterKen Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I actually went and put a 260 case into the 45 shell plate and it seemed to fit correctly but I don't know if I was missing something. I checked the Dillon site and the 260 isn't even listed there yet. I'll check what you listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 260 Rem uses the #1 shell plate, same as 45 ACP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliber Conversion Kit-wise, to convert from 45 to 260, you will need: 13541 Casefeed Adapter - Black 13661 Casefeed Arm Bushing - White 12870 Powder Funnel Y - 260/6.5/264 Rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassaholic13 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just as a side note, the 5.56 shell plate crosses to the .380 ACP as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterKen Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just as a side note, the 5.56 shell plate crosses to the .380 ACP as well Thats good to know, my wife just got a new .380 from Santa and she really likes shooting it. On the plus side I have more .223 brass to process than I want to think about. Does anyone have a cross reference chart to cross all these different combinations?

Why yes, there's an online calculator that works great. http://gunwiki.net/apps/calconversion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
