Adapter needed for Dillon 450

Probably would! But I would prolly have to buy a longer piece than needed and pay for shipping etc.
My other problem is that my gunsmith with drills lathes and such moved to Montana about 200 miles from Spokane.
I will check my local Ace hardware and see if they have the althread rod that big and then find a local to drill it out for me!
Thanks for the suggestions!
Whatcha think about my "solution " in post 17?

Here's my latest "solution ": Dillon 450 Station 1 has a Hornady die that has the expander sticking down far enuf to knocked out the old primer and the die adjusted as well as to not size the neck at all. Station 2 has the normal Dillon powder thru die with the .250 Savage "K" funnel installed and the Dillon powder measure on top of the powder through die as normal. Station 3 has the RCBS. 250 Savage seating die adjusted to just seat the boolit without a crimp. Station 4 has the Lee factory crimp die installed.
Here's the problem with this setup: about 1 in 50 cases has the boolit fall down inside the case when trying to seat it. Why only an occasional case has a different as fired neck diameter to cause this is a mystery to me. The other issue may be that I seem to be scraping some of the Lee liquid Alox lube off the sides of the boolit because there is no bell in the mouth as you would have if a Lyman "M" die was used. I have a bunch loaded up with this procedure and I now need to see how they shoot.
