    Dillon Locator Buttons

    I made STLs out of all the data I could find (plus some measurements of my own) for Dillon locator buttons. Can't find info for #6, but that is for Short or Super Short Mags, which I don't and wouldn't reload on my 550 anyways.

    I still need to print out to test, but once I do I will post to either github or some other repository and will link you.

    If anyone has dimensions for the #6 pin, let me know.

    Almost wonder if ABS shellplates could take the stress from sizing some cartridges, hmmmmm

    it will rip the lips that hold the brass right off, it already does it to the dillon plates sometimes, most automated users go with aftermarket heavy ones.

    you are more than likely right on the shellplates. though i've loaded probably 20+k rounds on my 550 without issue, may also be cartridge specific. should work fine for locator buttons though.
