[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2678451, member: 30309"] [b]PRIMERS[/b] since they both use small primers you just empty the small pistol primers and fill with small rifle primers [b]TURRET[/b] Extras are cheap, order a turret you can load your 556 dies in [b]POWDER[/b] you are going form pistol to rifle, so using the universal rifle charging die (90194) is needed on top of the 5.56 powder/flaring die from lee. you can either change the autodisk in your current lee powder measure then install it on the 5.56 dies, or just buy another powder measure (90429) and a double disk kit (90195) depending on what powder you use. Then dedicate the new measure to 5.56. make sure you don't mix powders up!! I put a piece of masking tape on the hopper and write down what powder is in it and what charge is being dispensed. [B]Shell Plate[/b] you must buy the shell plate for 223/5.56 - #4S (90910) [b]BRASS FEED MECHANISM[/b] You will need the Lee rifle pro case feeder (90663) for the 5.56 brass. I highly recommend the Case Collator (90667) [b]Bullet feeding[/b] Don't bother with trying to get the bullet feeder (if you have one) to work with .22 pills. Just hand seat them. I think that's it. given the way the turrets seat in the frame, make sure to check OAL when you switch the turrets. [/QUOTE]
