A while back I picked up an older used dillon rl450 that was missing the inner and outer priming tubes. After ridicule and harrassment from "in the know" dillon owners who seem to feel everyone needs to do as they say, I adapted what I have. Rather than buy a new priming system, or buy a bunch more parts that only work on my one dillon, I made a bushing to use the RCBS tubes from my rockchucker.
I used aluminum round rod turned to .500in and 1in long. Single point cut 1/2-20 threads 0.8in long. I then drilled using a 5/16in drill bit followed by an O drill bit. The bushing was then parted off at 0.8in long and the ends debured. RCBS priming tubes now fit just like on the rockchucker and I dont have to buy any more parts. Same tubes for both systems.
I realize many folks will object, but others may find it useful.
