[QUOTE="alank2, post: 1839351, member: 108"] Hi, To get the 550 running in a new cartridge, you just need a conversion kit for it and standard dies. The conversion kit is around $46 these days and comes with a shellplate, locator buttons, and a powder funnel. Sometimes you don't need a full conversion kit as you may load two cartridges that share the same shellplate, etc. If you already have dies, you can use them. If you want to use Lee dies to save some cash, they will work fine. A long time ago I was trying to decide between the Lee Classic Turret and the 550 and I ended up going with the 550 and am so happy I did. It will load ammo forever. My snails pace on it runs around 400 rounds per hour, but if I want to see how fast I can go, I can approach 600 rounds per hour. My goal is safety and I look in each round I make to make sure it has about the right amount of powder before seating a bullet on it. Good luck, Alan [/QUOTE]
