What with cabin fever and my old eyes I decided to get type up Dillon's catalog list of Caliber Conversion Kit Listings to type size I could read. Well, one thing lead to another and that list is now in a database along with the cross reference info from my 550B Manual (v8.1).

Ofcourse that wasn't enough, and since outside the few cartrides I load I'm not that familure with their names, so silly me I figured I could learn something new by putting the full names and any aliases from my reloading manuals for those rounds into the database.

I am now one very confused puppy!

Seems my reloading manuals, Hornady 6th & Lyman 48th, don't always agree on what a name should be.

If you're bored would you mind looking over the attached and double check I've entered names correctly.

Also there are a few conversion kits that are newer than my press manual. If you happen to have any of the following I'd like to know what Funnel, Shellplate, and Locator Buttons are used...

20121 .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum

20268 7 x 57R
