    WTB - Dillon 550 Caliber Conversion for 10mm / .40 S&W

    I need tooling to reload 10mm on my Dillon 550B.

    Specifically, I need the conversion kit (shell plate, pins and powder funnel) and dies.

    I thought I'd put this out there to see if anyone had a set they no longer use before I place a retail order.

    Thanks,

    Dwarf

    Ugly, I've got an extra toolhead/powder dispenser I might be interested in selling. I haven't reloaded any caliber in more than a year.
    Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
    Let my aim be true and my hand faster
    than those who would seek to destroy me.
    Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
    Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
    And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

        Anyone else have the .40S&W / 10mm specific 550B conversion parts?

          I have a set of 10/40 dies less than 100 rounds loaded through them. I have the 650 conversion kit also. PM sent.

              I've got dies now. Let me know if you have a 550B caliber conversion for the .40 S&W / 10MM.

                  One more bump before I place a retail order.

                    I still haven't gotten around to placing this order. Anyone out there with a 550B caliber conversion (locator pins, shell plate and powder funnel) for .40S&W / 10mm?

                    I've got dies and a tool head.

                      If you load 9mm on the 550, the same shell plate and buttons are used. Just buy a .40 cal funnel and you have your conversion kit.

                        While I have a 9mm, I don't shoot it often and have a bunch of ammo stored up, so I haven't bought a conversion for it either.

                        Looks like I'll need to buy an extra part when I get a caliber conversion for one or the other.

                        Thanks for the tip.

                          Always check the conversion chart to see what you need. You might have stuff already you don't think will work.

                          .303 British plate and buttons are the same as .44 Spl/Mag. Get a funnel and dies.

                          9mm plate and buttons also handles 40 S&W, 10mm, 357 SIG, and 9x25 Dillon as well as .30 Remington. Get a funnel and dies.

                          .223 plate and buttons also works for .380 ACP. Use the 9mm funnel and get dies.

                          Saves a lot of money that way.

                            I always check the charts against what I own before buying ... in this case I forgot to check against what I "plan" to own.

                            A good reminder to check both.

                              I borrowed my brothers conversion, so I'm set for the short term.

                              On the other hand, I'd like to have my own conversions for the calibers I reload, so let me know if you've got one you don't need anymore.
