FOUND THX. DILLON adapter?

[1mil]

Does anyone know of a powder measure adapter for a Dillon 450/550 to use a Lyman 55 p measure. Strictly manual powder dropping here...thanks

Threads in the Dillon plate are 7/8x14.

If I'm not mistaken Dillon makes a powder die that is compatible with standard powder measures.

Powder Measure Adapter

If you load rifle cartridges with long-gr extruded powder, you can now use any manufacturer's powder measure with 7/8" x 14 threads on your BL550 press. Dillon Precision recommends the Redding-Match Grade Model 3BR Powder Measure with this adapter. Requires the use of an RL 450 powder die part...

The Dillon Powder Measure works great with ball powder and most Alliant flake powders, but it does not function with the IMR type extruded powders. Dillon recognized this and this adapter has been available for quite some time. I've been meaning to buy one and the 450 Powder Die to use my Uniflow on the Dillon but never did.

I recently went to a charge master link and the Dillon die with the little funnel on top.... Use it to load 10mm with blue dot and have been 100% satisfied with both.... I have three powder throwers the lee , Dillon and the RCBS and none of them like blue dot.... I am sure one day I will use the charge master for stick powder also.... Expensive option but totally worth it....

Thanks folks...I have 7/8x14 threads on the Lyman 55 but not sure what adapter would work on the Dillon powder die with 20 and 22 cal Dillon funnels. I an trying to throw 8208 powder.
My lyman 55 has been Culver converted.
Thanks again
