Does anybody have a 45 colt conversion kit for the RL550B that they'd like to sell? I looked at Dillon and the price of the kit is $46.00 but the shipping is $10.00. That just seems steep to me (shipping costs) when we're sending small freight boxes full of lead through the PO for $6.00. Anyway, I'm hoping I can find one here. I'm sure I look like a Tight A**, but I don't mind paying for something if it seems reasonable and that shipping price doesn't (at least to me). Rant over, thanks all.

Mods I just realized I put this in the wrong place. Could you move it to buying/selling? I assume that's where it needs to be instaed of here. Thanks and sorry for the extra work.

The E powder funnel is the same as 45 ACP and all 45 caliber pistol cases. You might get by with just a C shellplate.

AK, Thanks I thought if anyone would know you would be the one. After I posted the post, I was grousing about the price of shipping from Dillon and she couldn't understand the fuss. So I suppose I'm ordering one from them. Oh well, I'll have it all set up for quick & easy setup. Thanks again.

The sheet lists all Dillon machines and all the conversion parts. There has been a couple times when all I needed was a powder funnel, not the entire conversion kit. This is in Excel format and the calibers you load for can be highlighted for faster reference. Here is a link to the sheet (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B236Cc8eRH-RekdyeUJXU042VmM&authuser=0). Download it and save it to your computer.....

Hope you find it useful.

Johnny V & AK, Thanks, I looked at the chart and found I have everything already. The 300 WM shell plate and buttons are the same as the 45 Colt. I've got that and the 45 ACP conversion, so I'm good to go. Thanks again!

I think the 300WM is shell plate B, and 45 Colt is shell plate C?

I'll have to look again, I thought they were the same. Darned bad eyes. Thanks for the heads up. Joe

Yep, I read it wrong. Dang, now I've got to buy one. Oh well, there are worse things. Thanks again everyone.
