Hi, I read your post several times. but am not sure what you are referring to? "Powder tubes?"

The 550 has powder measure bars. A handful of different ranges. But I'm lost on tubes (an old guy problem?).

If you're talking about powder funnels, I'll tell you something I thought about. Modify a neck sizing die so you can attach the powder measure to it, and use it to charge your case. I have an RL300 and my 223/556 "powder funnel" looks like a neck sizing insert.

I have been making powder funnels for my Dillon 450, here is a sketch I made for two from information provided by a member, it is in the last post (#12 ) of the thread. I use case dimensions from case drawings to generate the case end. Note there is one dimension missing on the top end, but for 550 machines it is not needed.

It may be of some help.

Thanks Steve

And yes I meant the powder funnels and I tried using Lee powder through expander inserts but they’re too short what I was really looking for is more of how long they need to be Other than that all the measurements for the Lee powder funnels will work just fine they are just to short

And thanks again guys

The first three are common.
D=.38 SPL
E=45ACP
F=9MM

W is a less common one-38/40. Not in my inventory, but I have a G for 44/40 that may be the same length.

I do not have access to mine at the moment, but should Sunday afternoon if you have not gotten your info yet.

aftermarket Dillon powder funnels which work similar to the LYMAN M-Die

I have a lathe in my shop i rather make them for it is a lot cheaper

40.00 ea adds up fast

I am back now, are you still looking for the measurements?

Exactly which measurements would you like?

[Texas Gun]

How long they are not Including the expander part And if there’s a recess on the powder measure side how far into the Funnel that goes

D

E

F


G, 44 mag, should be close to W, 38/40.

[corbinace]

All have funnel type recess.
