Fedge Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I just bought a case feeder for a 650 from a local reloading shop and it did not come with any casefeed plates. It was my understanding the feeder came with at least one of the four plates. The package looked un-tampered with so I was just curious if anything was awry or if I need to buy a feeder plate separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 A Dillon should come with one plate. The size should be on the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedge Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) There was no size checked/marked on the box. I've attached an image of the box below. The part number sticker shows 97074. I just want to know for sure that I got stiffed on the plate before I bring it to the shop owner. Thanks for your input.

Alvarez Kelly Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 97074 is not the part number for the case feeders that include a casefeed plate. They are 21079 (SP) 21080 (LP) 21082 (SR) and 21081 (LR). I think you got what the guy had to sell... I don't believe he ripped you off. Hopefully you got it for a good price, since you have to buy the plate separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It should also be checked as to size if a plate came with it. (27074 doesn't come up in a search on Dillon Precision.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTNuge Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That is how I bought mine as well. I believe the cost of the casefeeder and the plate separately came out to be the same as one of the packages that includes both of them. I thought it was odd as well but the shop owner specifically mentioned it and asked which plate I needed. So I bought mine in 2 parts but didn't get ripped off doing it. Was this a shop in MN by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 When you buy a Casefeeder (from me or) from Dillon, the Casefeeder SKU - and its total price - includes a Casefeed Plate. But the Casefeeder assembly and the Casefeed Plate are "actually" 2 different SKUS - so 2 SKUS are packed / shipped. But from somewhere else, it could be normal for the Casefeeder to be sold separately from the Plate. As long as they didn't charge you for the plate that you didn't receive. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedge Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 GuildSF4, Brian, et al., Thanks for all the feedback. I gave Dillon a call and asked them specifically about my situation. The rep on the phone clarified that when they ship to vendors, the case feeders do not come packaged with a feed plate but that they should have a feed plate associated with them. After reading your posts and talking with Dillon, I went back to my local shop today. I brought it to the shop owner's attention, and while he was still reasonably sure of himself that the plates are, in fact, a separate expense, I showed him a copy of the current catalog noting the price with a casefeeder. He agreed that the feeders are probably supposed to come with 1 plate and sent me on my way with a LP plate. I think I'm all squared away now, so thanks everyone for the help.
