    Reloading cast on Dillon 550 for 30-06

    Currently using Lyman M die in position 3 then seating/ crimping in position 4. Dillon doesn't offer a through powder expander for the ought 6. Any suggestions? I would like to seat and crimp on separate stations.

    Other than de-priming and sizing off press, then an m-die on station one, I’m not sure how to do it.
    Hopefully someone smarter than I am comes along to help.

    Custom powder funnel or possibly a 30 carbine funnel.

    A custom funnel is likely the answer. Not hard for a buddy with a lathe.

    I prep off press anyway for rifle, so station one solution is the route I'll go

    I'm curious when this was added, I called Dillon several years ago and was told such an animal didn't exist.
    This should do what I want.

    Thanks.

    I did not know about the expander funnel from Dillon. I do the resizeing off press as do several others as noted. I have some brass that needs inspection for length and trimming so the off press work is just part of the program.
    To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.

    it's the .30 funnel instead of the B funnel.
    a shorter version of the 30 carbine.
