Looking for someone in Morris county area, or even Mercer county(I work down there) that is very familiar with the xl650. I'm new to reloading and just getting used to machine. Made about 300 rounds 45acp when spent primer chute backed up and locked up shellplate and case feed at station one.

I cleared the primers but still not indexing or feeding cases all the way into station one.

Hoping someone local can lend a hand.

Thanks all.

Anyone out there willing to lend a hand?

Like you I just got my machine and so I wouldn't be able to help.

 

Have you called dillon?  One of the selling points of this machine is their company and reputation for outstanding service.  I'd call them first.

Yes. They are sending me some parts to replace. If I can't get it fixed they will work on it. They are great, I'm trying to avoid sending it. Would like to do it myself, or with help. Guess not many XL 650 guys on here. :-/

Where in Morris Co? I'm in Lincoln Park...Not an expert by any means, but I my Dillon 650 set up crankin out 10mm...if you're not to far I'm sure we can figure it out.

Waiting on parts from Dillon. I may take you up on your offer if I can't get it fixed next weekend.

Thank you very much for the offer.

I'm next to Morristown.

Curious.

 

Which parts did you break, or were broken?

 

I got mine all assembled and mounted and began to deprime brass, and less than 100 pieces in it starts sticking...the deprimed brass is hung up and doesn't want to eject into the tray from the final position on the shell plate.  So what do I do....force it, of course.  Broke the ring indexer and lost a pawl spring.  doh. 

 

Fortunately I took the sage advice of my friends here and ordered a spare parts kits.  Up and running in no time.

Should have removed the shell plate and see why it was stuck... sounds like a brass issue it may have been deformed knocking out primer or the primer was still in the pocket partially knocked out..
