I have a Dillon XL650 press, it’s currently set up to load 5.56. I want to start reloading 300 Blackout on it, I've reloaded BO before but not on the Dillon. Besides the obvious die changes do I just need to just change the powder funnel or are there other things from the 300 BO caliber conversion kit I will need?
For my 550 the only change, other than dies, was the powder funnel.

This Dillon caliber conversion Calculator is easy to use.

I currently have my 650 setup running a batch of 1000 sub sonics cartridges.
Frickin 300B brass I'm using is giving me fits with primer seating. One in ten didn't get crimp fully swaged.

Thanks for the link! Are you using a Dillon Super Swage 600? I have had good success with mine.
