38 super comp and 9mm on dillon 650

[ironman5669]

I currently load 9mm on one of my 650's, but i'm diving off in to Open class with a 38 SC gun, im wondering if any of my 9mm parts are compatible ( shell plate, pins etc) or do i need a full set of dies and caliber conversion kit?  

Thanks in advance?

Hello: You will need dies for sure. The 223 shell plate will work if you load 223 already. The pins are the same if I remember correctly. The green funnel for the case feeder which is the same as 9mm. Thanks, Eric

dillon recommends shell plate #3 for 223, not #5.

Hello: Yes, you have to use the #3 shell plate for 38 super/SC, 380 and 223. Thanks, Eric

I hate to be "that guy", but you should have stayed with 9mm Major and Minor -

very easy to change back and forth.

With 2 toolheads it is literally a 1 minute change between 9 and 38SC

Hello: I think Jack was just thinking of the cost of 38 brass over the cost of 9mm range brass. Thanks, Eric

Just started to load 38 Super Comp on my 650.  I found the same shell plate and pins (#5 and #3) I use for 9mm work fine for Super Comp. 800 rounds so far with no problems. YMMV.

I am working on loading 38 SC what dies does everyone use in their setup?

[earthshine402]

The only thing I change to load 38SC is a .223 shell plate, and of course the toolhead with appropriate dies.

I have reloaded about 20,000 rounds of 38 Super Comp on the Dillon Carbide dies. They work great and they also qualify for the Dillon NO BS guarantee. The ammunition I use is very accurate (think steel hits out to 250 yards).
