  1. Buy the caliber conversion kit for 9mm. Since you will need everything in it. ie the shell plate locator buttons powder funnel( goes inside the powder die) case feed adapter I think it's green. You may need a small pistol case feed ate too. Dillon recapping pins are different than lee. Lock rings just use the ones on the lee dies. You want the primer seater tight. Use a box end wrench. An the case feed tube is the same. Noted on the caliber conversion kit. So I can use my existing toolhead and powder die? Forgot to mention I already have a small pistol casefeed plate, so I'm set there. Cool, didn't realize I could use the lockrings that come with the Lee dies on the 650. Saves a few bucks, thanks.
  2. I picked up a used Dillon 650 that was set up for loading .45ACP. I don't plan on loading .45 and would like to switch this over for 9mm. To save a little cash, I'd like to use existing parts where possible. Once switched over, I'll just sell off the .45-specific parts. Eventually I'll add .223 to this, but for now, I only need to set up for 9mm. That said, here are my questions: 1. Caliber conversion kit: I assume the shellplate, locator buttons and casefeed adapters are NOT compatible between .45 and 9mm, correct? 2. Toolhead and powder die: I assume these ARE identical between .45 and 9mm, so I can just use the existing toolhead and powder die, correct? 3. 650 priming quick-change: I changed out the large primer disc (not sure what it's called - the metal disk that holds the primers prior to them being pushed into the cases) for the small primer disc, and also swapped out the primer magazine tube for the smaller magazine tube. So I don't need the priming quick-change part or any other priming system related parts, do I? 4. The 5pk of 1" lock rings will allow me to use Lee dies in the 650, correct? 5. Will the 10pk of pistol de-priming pins work in the Lee depriming die? 6. On the primer punch (the part that pushes primers into cases), there is a 9/16" nut. What type of wrench are you using to get at that nut? None of my open end wrenches could get in there and actually have room to turn. Is finger tight on that nut sufficient? 7. Is the casefeed tube the same for .45 and 9mm? Thanks!
  3. I shoot with both eyes open. I notice that as the target distance increases, I experience increasingly more of a double vision effect, where the images received by my eyes are slightly offset from each other, leaving me a little confused as to whether my sight is on the target or not. 1. Is there anything I can do to relieve this confusion when shooting with both eyes open? 2. Is there any downside to shooting with just my dominant eye open? 3. I am right-handed and my right eye is my dominant eye. But for some reason, I have a very difficult time closing my left eye and leaving my right eye open (the converse - closing my right eye and leaving the left wide open is easy). Even when I can manage to leave my right eye partially open with my left eye closed, I have very little ability to move the right eye around (e.g., scanning left/right, up/down) without opening the left eye (if I hold my left eye closed using my hand, my right eye can move around freely). Are there techniques I can practice to get my right eye to be more 'independent' of my left eye?
