.38 Super Comp with Dillon 650

[bayougump]

I have a Dillon 650 and load 9mm and have 2 quick changes for .40 and .38 Super along with the conversion kit for .40 and wanted to know what all I would need to do if I wanted to start loading .38 super comp instead of just .38 super. Would all I need to buy is the conversion kit? Essentially I am thinking of changing to SC as super brass seems harder to find and my Tanfo Open gun will run both super and super comp. I was assuming the conversion kit would be all that is needed or could I just get a few certain parts needed for super comp and use some of the 9mm kit parts as well? Thanks in advance.

I load SC with the same dies as 38 Super, the 9mm shell plate is a hair loose on the case and I've heard the 223 plate works better so I might give it a try if I start shooting a lot more SC.

The .223 shell plate is what you need w/the same locator buttons as the Super or the .40

I use the 223 shell plate for 38SC.

you'll need a different "station one locator"

the .223 one works for 38Supercomp

So just a .223 shellplate and a locator and I should be good to go?

yep

that's all I used out of the conversion kit.

the powder funnel is the same as 9mm

If you are using Super and S/Comp brass be aware that the Super brass will not fit in the S/Comp shell plate and might give you holdups. I never changed the locator but I do sort my brass. Half a bucket of Super sitting there at the moment and the boys will swap it for the SC they find.

You can use a 9mm shell plate but some may push through .223 is way better
