Please forgive a stupid question. I used to shoot competition handgun about 20 years ago using my 450 to reload about a zillion rounds of 45 & 38. I’ve never loaded rifle in my life. I haven’t even had the 450 set up for about a decade and now I want to get into shooting competitive 308 rifle (AR-10). What do I need to get this thing up & running again?
Thanks!

First,
I suggest you clan up the machine, and lube the shaft with 30 wt motor oil. If necessary, regrease the pivot pins.
For loading .308, no problem; you will need the caliber conversion kit(stock#20130) and a die set (stock#15574), case lube (stock#13733), and if you are shooting a semi-automatic rifle, add a headspace case gage(stock# 12867).
Eventually you will also need a case trimmer, as bottleneck cartridges stretch enough to require trimming after every 2 or 3 firings.
