On the Dillon website they sell a base RL550B that comes without a caliber conversion kit. They recommend that you get the one that comes with the conversion kit. I purchased mine from Amazon which came from an outfit in Ore. and mine had no kit either, but I new I'd have to order another $300-500 in accessories which I did. Mine's all set up now just like the deluxe 550B that they show on their (Dillon) website.

This is a case length trimmer. There is a threaded hole in the center and you buy the length gauge for your caliber

If you don't mind resetting the dies again buy just one. I load different calibers and resetting all the dies is a pain.

The loader should come with on already set up with the calibers you ordered. You only should need to by one.

Yes it does and yes you can.The idea is to purchase a new plate for each set of dies. It just makes swapping out dies for each caliber easier. Only thing you "need" besides supplies are the dies to get started. I'd suggest a better scale though. Press is great, Lee scales not so much. Frankford Arsenal scales work like a champ.

The kit comes with a slide scale that converts each dippers respective cc measurement to grains for each type gun powder that you might use. I bought kit just as a way to double check my loads. I think it was worth it, although I've found I only use 2 or 3 of the dippers. This is probably because I only load 2 types of bullets. I guess its nice to have a good selection in case I start loading other types ammo.

If you are referring to the conversion kit, it is sold separately. Although, there doesn't seem to be a kit available for this model from Amazon. So I may just buy it from elsewhere when the time comes.

You will have to buy dies and shell plate for each caliber you want to load. Some calibers can share a plate. It comes with large and small priming system. Get the lock and load bushings if you get this unit - it makes caliber changes the fastest and easiest of any out there

you will need a small primer assembly kit, and a small case feeder assembly, I also suggest another 5 hole turret if you are changing calibers so you won't have to keep readjusting dies each time you do a caliber change. If you are loading only one caliber(9mm) you can purchase a press with all necessary items included for 9mm.

I'm not Shure if there is a defference do to the caliber. But if you call or e-mail them they will let you know.

I suggest the carbide 4 die set, that way you have the option to use the fcd to see if it improves your reloads or not. I actually bought the 3 die set and purchased the fcd separately and wish I would have bought the 4 die set to start with and saved some time and money. I don't mind the extra step even with a single stage press.

Yes you can. I have purchased setups for 6 or7 different calibers. It is truely wonderful the way it functionsDavid

the 223 will not fit 22lr, kit cannot be customized but the 223 can be purchased seperatly

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.

Check the RCBS cross reference guide in thier catalog, I don't load that caliber, sorry.

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
