I took my screw to my die set to find out and I still can't say for sure what size it is. Just using my fingers, It fits a 1/4-28 die with a little binding. It's not 12-24, M6 or M8. It has a 28mm thread length.

Here's how I did it. Rounds drop into a tub underneath.

I'm guessing you know this but I'll put it out there anyway. Part 14024 is keyed. It's necessary when installing the primmer tube to set it in the black primmer pipe and twist it until is sets down fully. The primmer tube is fully seated when no more than 1/2 inch of it is showing above the primmer pipe. I once spilled a lot of primmers when I failed to do this.

I don't have a Pep Boys near by so I went to the plumbing supply store.

The case feeder on my 650 is homemade but functions very much like the Dillon. I used a dc motor speed controller, Amazon item # b00htz5os2. It's variable speed, doesn't get hot like a resistor and is reversible so it's easy to clear a jam. I'm not affiliated with Amazon

G19 This is funny! I bought that same lever switch from Amazon. You can see my review there. It's not a low force switch.

G19 The inductive sensor I'm using is Amazon item # B00979RA1M. It's cheap and hasn't missed a beat. Anyone hooking these up needs to know some basic electronics. There are some good Youtubes on using this type of sensor. Yes, I tried infrared sensors. Both direct and retro reflective. I could not find an accurate way to count brass with optic sensors. Round and shiny makes a lousy target for a beam of light. Light beam width, reflections and distance could all throw off a count.

First post so go easy! I have found the best way to count completed rounds is a switch above the crimp die. I machined an adjustable length steel pin that sets in the die and operates the switch only when a finished round is at station 5 on a the 650. It's 100% accurate. I played with several optical sensors and found they miscount depending on how shinny the brass is. I am also using an inductive sensor on the case feeder tube. I'm not sure it's clear in the picture. This counts the cases falling through the tube and also controls my case feeder.
