Converting Calibers

I just want to verify before I order the parts. I bought a 650 that was set up for .45 ACP. I am going to be using it for .223. At a minimim, I just need the .223 dies and the .223 conversion kit correct? I don't need anything for the powder measure right?

Thanks!

On the powder measure, you just install the large powder bar that was included with the machine. If you have the electric case feeder you will need the small rifle case feed plate, and you also need to install the small primer feed parts.

Thank you sir, the small primer feed parts were/should have come with the machine also correct?

Yes. You will have a small primer magazine, a small pickup tube, a small primer disc and a small primer seating punch/bushing assembly

If I remember correctly, my extra stuff came with my 650 in the accessory box.
