I have a 550 press with a 45 Colt conversion. Dillon lists a separate shell plate for 44 Russian/Spcl/Mag than for 45 Colt. Seems to me like I should be able to use the .45 shell plate for the .44's, needing only to change the powder funnel (locator buttons are the same). The thickness of both rims is the same. The rim diameter of the .44 is .514 versus .512 for the .45. Are the shellplates so tight that .002 oversize won't fit? Or that the .001 difference in center-bore makes a difference in fitting into the dies? On my Lee press, the .44 Spcl and 45 Colt use the same shell holder. My loader is across town right now or I would try the fit myself. Am I overlooking anything besides the powder funnel that would make a difference?

I needed another powder measure for my 650 & could not find any place on the internet who wasn't in backorder. But, I did find that many do have the 1050 powder measure in stock. I had recently found out that the only difference in these is that the 1050 comes with a heat treated die & costs about $5 additional = $94.95. Ben Stoeger Pro Shop had them in stock, as well as a couple of other goodies I wanted - UniqueTek powder baffle ($10), & the quick release for the measure ($26). He assured me they would ship next day at the latest. Anyway, if you need a powder measure for your 550, 650, 750, if you don't want to wait for a backorder, & if you don't mind paying an extra $5 for the heat-treated die, you can probably buy the 1050 measure many places.
