It is my understanding that you can...
but....
you need to replace just about every stations' acting parts to the desired guage. It's easier to have a 650 for each guage you wish to load and leave it set up, changing loaders instead of parts.

Check this site out. http://precisionreloading.com/mecAccessor.htm

A little late but the answer to the question is "yes" but after you remove all the 20 gauge stuff, all you would have to start the conversion is the handle. This is only if you could find a conversion kit. It is much better to do as mike_elmer said and get one in each gauge. That's what I did and this is my two cents worth. Good Luck
