Another Newbie Reloader Question

[unclez]

Just purchased a used Dillon 550B and it comes with the 10mm/.40 conversion kit. I have no need for this because my main purpose is to load 9mm. What do I need to buy to get this swapped over so I can load 9mm. Sorry for the newb question but just want to make sure I get everything. I'm assuming just the 3 pack 9mm dies from B.E. but wanted to make sure. Here is what comes with what I bought:

Included-

- RL550B

-10mm/40 Conv Kit

-strong mount

-bullet tray

-extra primer pickup tubes

-vhs tape manual

-bench wrench

-two sets of dies, dillon and lee

-two primer flip trays, dillon and rcbs

-spare parts kit

-cartridge case bracket and 6 bins

-10 dillon blue ammo boxes

-blue dillon machine cover

-D-terminator elec scale

-Lyman stainless dial caliper

Iknow... I know... buy a reloading manual. I am but wanted to go ahead and try to buy everything I need (basics) at once.

Thanks

Wow...Great Start! I would suggest you drop a dime and call Brian. Get the info from one who knows...exactly.

Be safe and happy reloading!

Just found THIS in Brians online store. From what I've gathered, I need the:

9mm Dies (3 pack)

9mm conversion kit

AND

Deluxe quick change kit OR toolhead & powder die for 9mm.

Since I won't be changing calibers very often is it safe to say I'll just need the 9mm dies, caliber conversion kit and toolhead with powder die?

In short, you need three Locator Buttons #3 and a Powder Funnel #F.

The Shellplate is the same for .40S&W and 9 mm, #5.

Since you won't be swapping calibers you don't need the conversion kit or the tool head with powder funnel die, use what came with the .40-kit.

(My bad, wrong name for the part.)

Wow! I'm sure this is easier than I'm making it out to be.

So I don't even need the 9mm conversion kit or the toolhead and powder die?

[RogerT]

No.

The conversion kit consists of a shellplate, three locator pins and a powder funnel.

The tool head you already have together with the powder die (what the powder funnel goes into and the powder measure is attached to).
