Hornady Case Feeder: Changing between .223 and 9mm


Recommended Posts

Since these are both small rifle + pistol, it looks like the equipment changeover is fairly simple with just changing out the plate. Am I missing anything else? I know I will have to make adjustments with the case feeder itself as well as the drop tube + shuttle. I don't expect to load a ton of .223 so I'm trying to evaluate if it's worth getting the plate to feed .223 cases versus just handloading them into the shell plate. I usually load in mass so I'm not going to be changing constantly between .223 and 9mm.

You'll need a few things. Like you said you'll need the plate for the feeder itself. You'll need to add the pivot adapter and bushing. By adding this adapter you'll also need to adjust the feed tube end so it has enough clearance for the assembly to pivot. 

The vblock you're using for 9mm should be ok to use for .223
