Background; I inherited my Dad’s Dillon 550 he built like Johnny Cash’s Cadillac, “one piece at a time,” by upgrading a 450. I just don’t need it in any of the calibers he left with it, but I just found a 32 cal conversion kit (shell plate, pins, and funnel) on our favorite gun auction site.
Now my question; it looks like Dillon is pretty adamant about the superiority of using their dies instead of anybody else’s but I have a like new carbide set from RCBS that is surplus to my other needs and wonder whether there is any legitimate need to buy the Dillon set? I do remember when Dad was setting this rig up he used dies from other sources with good results...
Anyway, if anyone has personal experience with RCBS dies in the early 550 conversions and would be willing to share, this would be most helpful.
