Do I need to purchase a Die for the powder (I'm new to reloading) and does it come with any shell plates and or a shell plate bearing kit?

This is just the machine. You will need a caliber conversion kit and set of dies for the caliber you intend to load. The machine does include a Powder Die that holds a powder funnel. The powder funnel is part of the caliber conversion kit that is purchased separately.

You will need a SET of die's for the caliber you want to load and you will need the shell plate designed for that caliber. Someone said this item does not include dies and shellplate.

If you don't get from Dillon, you don't get any shell plates (at least mine didn't). Sometimes Dillon runs a special where you get two shell plates. It is a great loader.

reloading dies( get carbide) for each caliber you want to reload a reloading manual will also be needed

The 550b comes with everything you need, with the exception of caliber specific items. Such as dies, shell plate, powder funnel etc.. You will also need a loading manual, dial caliper, powder scale, primer flip tray, and especially primer pocket cleaning tools. I would order directly from Dillon, call them the customer service rep will guide you to everything you will need. Also u-tube videos are especially helpful.

if the die set has four (4) dies, one is usually the crimp die. The 3 die sets often do not come with the crimp die so that can be purchased separately. I reload 9mm and .357 and also .380 although am still waiting on crimp die for the .380 as those are hard to find. Hope this helps, good luck reloading, it is a neat hobby to get into.....GG

No dies or shell holders come with the kit. It is a great kit though I am loving mine!

You need the hornady lock n load press. The corresponding hornady shell plate for 9 mm. You need a 3 die set of any manufacturer that sell standard 9mm die set. (Lee, Hornady, RCBS etc. ) then you need small pistol primers. A digital scale and corresponding smokless gun powder for 9 mm. Last but not lest 9 mm bullets. Get some reloading data about your 9mm bulleys and gun powder and you are good to go.

Yes, I've loaded both 9mm pistol and .223 rifle and plan to pick up dies for .45, 30-06 and 7.62X39. You'll need dies which usually include the shell holder. For rifle ammo you'll need case trimming tools etc. I get all my load data from the powder manufacturer's web site and take recommendation from the rep at my local gun shop on types of powder. There's also a lot of good reloading videos on you tube to get some baseline information in lieu of printed literature.

Mine came with both. Good choice in trigger. I bought two. They fit very well in a mega lower and also in my umbrella corporation lower. The new roll pins are quality and the set screws are well made.

You will have everything, but shell plate holders and caliber specific dies. However, I would suggest the upgrade for the operating handle.

I purchased the Lee Loadmaster for .223 and it came with a LEE FULL length carbide sizing die set. This was ready to rock and roll out of the package. I replaced that die set with a .300 AAC Blackout Die sets to load .300 AAC Blackout. It's easy and fun and Lee supports their product. I broke the sizing die rod (it was my fault), I called Lee and they sent me another one free of charge. Good luck

You need a set of dies for each caliber. Recommend the 4 die carbide set for each, not the three die set. The 4 die set includes a factory crimp die which does a better job. Also recommend getting another turret disk. They cost about $11 and allow you to change die sets by just changing the disk thereby not disturbing the adjustments. The set comes with one. You also need bullets, powder, primers and some way to clean the shell casings. The primer and powder measuring devices that come with the press are fine. The book is ok and the balance scale works but is slow.

You will need Shell Plates and Reloading Dies (specific to the caliber you are reloading). You will need the shell plates made for the Pro 2000, the reloading dies can be any make as long as the are 7/8-14 thread. The press comes with one (1) Die Plate, you can order more if you have multiple calibers to reload.

You will need different dies to load 45acp and 45lc as well different shell plates.The casing are different length and rim.

Yes it comes with a taper crimp die. it also comes with a Full Length Die, Bullet Seating Die, Powder Thru Expanding Die, and Universal Shell Holder also Includes Powder Dipper and Instructions/Load Data. In all it has 4 dies that are Carbide witch you don't need to lube the cases. You only lube steel dies.

No. You will also need shell holders, unless the die set you get comes with them, like Lee's sets do, and you will need calipers.

You will need a #16 shellholder. It is not included. The carbide die set should work fine in a Hornady Lock and Load press. I am using mine in a Lee Classic and they work very nicely.
