Dillon Help

I need to buy a shell plate and locator pins for .45 ACP on the Dillon RL550. Does anyone know what number shellplate this is? The Dillon website sells shell plates by number but I can't find listed what number corresponds to what caliber

Thanks for your help.

20126 Is the caliber conversion kit number. That is what you are looking for.

My plate for the 45acp says 1.

The conversion kit includes the shell plate, pins, and the expander tube for the .45 ACP. If all you truly really need is the plate, it has a number "1" stamped on it.

Whoops, did not see that in the post above.

Call Dillon. If you need something describe it and they'll send it right out. I've dealt with'm for years. I have an antique 450 press that's still under warranty.

There's a full list of part numbers for conversion kits, shell plates and locator buttons in the back of the manual.

If you don't have the manual, you can download it as a pdf file from the Dillon site.

(I like having pdf files for everything...it's usually easier than digging through filing cabinets.)
