ironman5669 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aircooled6racer Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

outerlimits Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 dillon recommends shell plate #3 for 223, not #5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aircooled6racer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hello: Yes, you have to use the #3 shell plate for 38 super/SC, 380 and 223. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hi-Power Jack Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I hate to be "that guy", but you should have stayed with 9mm Major and Minor - very easy to change back and forth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With 2 toolheads it is literally a 1 minute change between 9 and 38SC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aircooled6racer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hello: I think Jack was just thinking of the cost of 38 brass over the cost of 9mm range brass. Thanks, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dons Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRPOperator Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I am working on loading 38 SC what dies does everyone use in their setup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
earthshine402 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The only thing I change to load 38SC is a .223 shell plate, and of course the toolhead with appropriate dies.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Thanks, I do have a 223 setup so the shell plate wont be an issue. I was more talking about which sizing die seat die etc do people prefer. what load are you running? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nevadazielmeister Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 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). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
