moose76 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 On a 550, if there is a RT1200 in station 3, is there is enough room to run a die in station 4? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911 S.I.S.sy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't think so if the vacuum attachment is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number99 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If you leave half the vacuum thing off and have a short die it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use Velcro or tape to hold the other side on. Still works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808win Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Try taking a look at the new 300 Blackout trim die kit for 550 from GSI International, Inc. (http://www.gsiinternational.com/300-Blackout-for-550_8_4244_8645.html). Don't know if the toolhead will work with standard Dillon trim dies, but looks like it has an integral vacuum port. Not sold separately though. Edited March 24, 2014 by 808win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808win Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I noticed that Dillon is selling the RL550 GSI Trimmer Toolhead (#12256) on their website for $39.99. They're also selling the XL650 GSI Trimmer Toolhead (#12258) for $49.99. Still don't know if they will work with standard Dillon size/trim dies. Check with Dillon or GSI.

Thanks What do you need another die on the toolhead for. Should only need decapping and Trim dies I want to run a Lyman "M" die to bell the case mouth a slight bit for flat base bullets. How do you de-lube? I find that if I run an M die on the prep/trim toolhead then tumble off the lube, the flare is practically removed by the tumbling. I've moved the M die to the loading toolhead now. Due to the absence of lube I run a custom expander that doesn't touch the case neck ID but just flares a little - 0.304/0.312 from memory. If neck expanding is required I still do that on the prep/trim toolhead with a Sinclair floating expander with carbide mandrel. This is for .308 Win on a 1050, and I have to leave both stations adjacent to the RT1200 empty. .. Edited March 25, 2014 by roxfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSI says that the vacuum port "will not work with the Dillon dies at the present time", however, they are "designing a ported toolhead that will work for the other dies".
