.223 With 550 Casefeeder?


Recommended Posts

Has Dillon released a caliber conversion so I can load .223 on my 550 with casefeeder? If not are they planning to? If so anyone have experience with it?

I don't believe that long cases like the .223 will operate with the new 550 case feeder system as shipped from Dillon. There is not quite enough room "height-wise"to operate reliably with their cam profile. They probably want the case feeder to be as dependable as possible, so my guess is that they're limiting it to handgun calibers so there won't be a clearance problem.

I've heard that some people have tried cutting their own cam profile and seem to have it working fairly well. Maybe someone who has tried that will reply.
