Hello was wondering if someone would look over my list for 223/556 and tell me if I'm missing or something needs upgraded. This will be for a Dillon 550, some things are not must but rather convenient, thanks.
Dillon conversion for 223/556 for 550 Dillon quick change Dillon toolhead Forster 223 FL seater & micrometer ultra seater set Lee universal decapping die Hornady OAL gauge Hornady Comparator set Hornady modified 223 modified case |

Just a quick glance at your list...You may already have these, but just in case. You will need a case trimmer Chamber and deburring tool Calipers to measure case length and all sorts of other things Something to remove the crimp from the primer pocket Scale for weighing charges Case gauge is really nice to have, but not absolutely necessary, the Dillon stainless steel case gauge is a good one You don't mention how you intend to use your rifle/carbine, if you aren't shooting high power rifle (1,000 yds) competition you don't need the Forster micrometer bullet seating, any standard bullet seating die will work just fine for 99.999% of reloaders. |
| I forgot to mention that I got 550 already and load 9mm and haver the calipers, scale , crimp remover (Hornady). I do need a case gauge, thanks for bringing that up. Trimmer will be a Giraud i guess, might as well pony up. Also will be for a SBR and a SPR, thats the reason for the Micrometer seater, would like the convience of of the micrometer. Basically looking to see if I'm missing anything for reloading 223/556. |
