unclez Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclez Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 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?

RogerT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) 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.)

So I don't even need the 9mm conversion kit or the toolhead and powder die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) 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).
