Dies for Dillion 550

[DrewS]

What brand of dies generally fit a Dillion 550? I've tried both Lee and RCBS dies. Both are really short and not able to use locking nut. This is mainly an issue for the sizing dies.
Thanks for any info in advance.

I mean Dillion has their own. I've used rcbs, Redding, Hornady, Lee and Pacific in mine without issues though.

Did you try putting the lock nut on the bottom?

Dillion dies are always out of stock. I might try Redding since they are sold by Dillion directly. Thanks

I put the lock nut on the bottom of the tool head on several calibers and it works great.

This. This is a good answer. Use dillons thin lock rings on the bottom.
