[QUOTE="Profreedomokie, post: 3260065, member: 524"] All of these mods I did to my Dillion 650 to make it faster, easier, or better. I drilled and tapped four 1/4-20 holes on top, down to the slot where the tool head slips in. When I change tool heads I adjust four socket head screws hand tight against the tool head to take all the slop (free play) out. I find this very handy when using the Dillion case trimmer. Second mod is I take some thin plastic shim stock and punch a hole in one end of a 3/4" long by 3/8" wide strip that the brass station pins will just fit in. This makes removing the pin easier. Third mod is I drill a 3/16" hole in the press under the fourth station. If I see powder under that area I know I missed seating a primer before I seat the bullet. Fourth mod is I drilled a 3'8" hole just on the bottom of the case feed hopper about 4 1/2" from the drop tube and to the left so I can see that it is turning inside when it is suppose to. Last mod is I made some pie shaped copper plates that are stamped LR,SR,SP, and LP. This is for the different primers used. I put one for the primers I'm using at the time on the bracket that guides the rod to the powder hopper. This way I know what primers are left in the machine. I hope these will help some of you.
