Loosen the knob, lower the feeder, swap plates, loosen other knob, install feeder, tighten second knob, snap in tube, plug in. $40 plate is what he'd need to buy to make it work.Originally Posted by Dan Lehr

Yup, I just share the feeder between the neighboring 650. It easily lifts up off of the pole and slides down onto the other one, they are mounted close enough together and I left enough loop in the cord that it doesn't even need to be unplugged. The plates lift straight up off of the shaft and swapping them is simple, as you would if you were changing calibers.

Going that fast you might even have to wait for the Dillon case feeder to catch up!
Maybe your motor needs an uograde:

Okay, I've only seen 650's with case feeds, did not know that they came with a case feed tube for you to drop cases into if you didn't have the feeder. The 550's need an added feed mechanism to put the case onto the shell plate.Yup, I just share the feeder between the neighboring 650.

Thanks!
Yes!! The 650/750s come with everything you need EXCEPT the dang feeder! I briefly had a 550 with a feeder so I know exactly what you are talking about, all that mechanism that is additional.
Loading on the 650 SUCKS without the case feeder. Dillon really should quit trying to make the press less expensive by selling the feeder as a separate item when it really is a necessity.
This is one area where the Hornady LNL AP excels. The cases go into and exit the machine on the left. Manually feeding cases is quick and easy. Case and bullet feeding can be done with the left hand so the right hand can stay on the press handle.

Just got mine in and deprimed about 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket in 2 episodes of Archer using the 4 tube case feeder. Worked decent enough for the money, given the top heavy cases and how the collator needs some help to work with rifle cases. It's going to be a beast with 9mm.
How many 223 cases does it hold? I guess I should know already but I haven't loaded 223 on a Pro 1000 in quite awhile.

A big fistful, drizzled in and shook. Run the press rough on the downstroke and it'll usually shake the rest down for you.
Chamfer the collator funnel entrances with a knife otherwise the thing won't work worth a shit for .223
