Redding case activated powder drop for Dillon 550

Silver $$ Contributor
With a new Dillon 550 ordered and on the way, I’d like to start gathering necessary components I would need to upfit a case activated powder drop feature for a Redding 10x pistol measure. It is my understanding that this is possible and has been done. If you feel that Dillon powder measure is adequate then good for you, but I do not wish to utilize their measure.

Beside the Redding measure, I believe I would need a Hornady case activated powder drop linkages p/n #050073 and their quick change powder die p/n #050074 as well as pistol power sleeve #392700 … is there anything else I am missing?

I do not wish to utilize a powder through expander as I will be using a dedicated expander die in the first station (all brass will be deprimed, cleaned and resized on a different press beforehand).
 
If Redding does not offer a setup for their powder measure, I'm not sure if Hornady or RCBS linkage will work.
The Dillon powder measure is great if you're using ball powder.

Dillon sells a powder die to adapt a non-Dillon powder measure.
