So a Dillon (550B) can use normal dies...

the instructions suggest to have a separate crimp/seat die and I understand why but think with care could be worked around.

So basically one needs a "conversion kit" for varied calibers that has the shell plate, pins, index wheel, and powder actuator funnel? You could use say .45 ACP shell plates for anything '06 size head but the funnel thing would need to be addressed for powder?
