Case feeder capacity?
Quote from Reloader on August 31, 2013, 2:19 amJust bought and setup my 650 today, loading 38 at the moment (9mm soon). Just migrated from a lee loadmaster.
If I put more than 80 or so .38 cases in the feeder it won't move. At under 80 it runs. And it throws a case out on the floor every 25 cases or so.
What is the capacity of cases I should be able to put in there?
Is tossing them on the floor every so often to be expected?

As to the capacity for the case feeder...Dillon recommends an amount equal to the capacity of a 1lb. coffee can or a blue cartridge bin to be a good amount. Throwing cases on the floor I don't think is to be expected....make sure you have the correct plate in the feeder....when you dump the cases into the feeder try to spead them out.
