To convert the Load-Master from a large caliber to small caliber or a small to large, you may need the following:
1) New Shell Plate

3) Dies
Appropriate dies = https://leeprecision.com/reloading-dies
4) 5 Hole Turret (90079) = https://leeprecision.com/5-hole-turret
5) Powder Measure
6) Bullet Feed Kit
If you are loading a larger or small diameter cartridge, a new Bullet Feeder and Lee Bullet Seat and Feed Die may also need to be purchased = http://leeprecision.com/reloading-presses/progressive-presses/progressive-press-accessories/bullet-feed-kit/
NOTES: Some 45 ACP brass now have small primer pockets. Do not attempt to load these cases with large primer feed, else explosion and damage to tool is likely to occur.
If the desire is to load the 40 S&W, it is necessary to have the Universal case feeder.
The 50 AE can be loaded however, the case feeder cannot be used as event the large size is too small. It is also necessary to lube the cases as the dies are steel.
