For the BL550 press, it does not come with shell plate, correct? Just confirming as they didn't mention this in the "at minimum you need these things also" list.

Which means, I need to get a shell plate or a conversion kit. The kit includes the (metal) powder and the pins. Do I absolutely need those as it mentions that this powder funnel is to "activate the automatic powder dispenser", and I am manually measuring and pouring the powder in. Perhaps I need this so the powder doesn't pour everywhere and out the case? For the pins, I watched a couple guys on YT and they didn't had any pins attached to the plate.

Looking for loading 6mm Dasher with either as a single stage or manually index the press. That's the only caliber I am loading ATM.


Thank you everyone

If you still have questions, I would catch their storefront while they are open, and have them walk you through the order so you can be confident in what you are getting.
