aandabooks Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm looking for any input on this. Got a couple SDBs and would like to be able to load .357sig on them. Right now I've got that caliber on a Lee Turret and I prime off the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parashooter38 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 dillon does not make a set up for 357 sig on a SDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parashooter38 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 i think it is because of the pressure you would put on the machine do to the necked down case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I found that when looking around the Dillon sight. I am hoping maybe someone is doing an aftermarket die set. I know it is a stretch but figured I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The design of the SDB won't maintain consistent headspace on the bottlenecked cartridges. Even if someone offered an aftermarket SDB die set in 357 SIG, I would be skeptical. I did have a customer who sized off the machine, modified a seat and crimp die to fit (using a lathe), and assembles 357 SIG on his SDB. Lots of effort.

9x45 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's your chance to get a 550 then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Don't know that I can justify a 550/650 for one caliber. I have 2 SDB machines with 9mm, .45 and .38/.357 setups. I still have 5 pistol calibers and 3 rifle calibers on the Lee Turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
