WTB- 45 ACP conversion parts
« on: September 06, 2013, 01:31:47 pm »
Hello group,
I have a press set up for 38 special and I am interested in converting to 45 ACP.
I would like to find a spare head preferably with dies, a shell plate, and large primer set up for .45 ACP.

I'm also not sure if I need to upgrade to the larger powder slide or not.  ???
Anyone with suggestions or insight would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

How about a whole 45ACP Universal.  I can help you with that.

Also, is your 38 machine a progressive or a Universal?   Progressives cannot be converted to other calibers,  Universals can.

You also will not need a larger powder slide. Just a differant bar. 3.5 or 3.6 if you load 200swc.
