    What I need

    Sending up smoke signals.......

    i have been been reloading cast Boolits in 25 acp on a Rockchucker press. I'm looking to increase production, and would give almost anything to find today's unobtanium item: shell plate for Dillon 550b press. This is an item that Dillon doesn't make, and the threads that I have read indicates that the 5.7x28fn brass would also work on same shell holder.

    There used to be a company that made one, but their site now has an image of chocolate chip cookies. Hacked or dead, no doubt.

    If if anyone has one of the old she'll plates that Dillon used to make, and could document its dimensions, etc. and, I understand that the "brass pins" for this are much more of some sort of ring arrangement.

    So, any current assist would be great. Thanks in advance.

    CNC manufactured 5.7x28 shell plate for the Dillon RL550. Made of hardened A2 steel. Shell plates includes 3 custom locator buttons since none of Dillon's are of the correct size.
