9mm case feeding issues
Quote from Reloader on June 1, 2018, 5:58 pmHello forum members. Just joined this forum. I am relatively new to reloading. I have an XL 650 i bought used. I recently converted it from 40sw to 9mm. I am running into 2 issues that I think are related. My case feeder drops 9mm cases into the Y shaped case feeder shoot where cases sometimes land horizontally causing that Y shaped shoot to jam with cases. When cases drop without getting stuck, some of the flip into the feeding tube and thus get loaded onto the plate upside down. I have pics but it looks like I may not be able to attach pictures to a post. I was told on the FB page Dillon Reloaders Blue Group that there may be a plastic part that goes into that Y shaped top portion of the feeder tube making the opening smaller preventing cases from flipping around. Does that sound right? If yes, can I order that part from Dillon? TIA!

Quote from Reloader on June 2, 2018, 12:41 pmI had that same issue, and Dillon sent me AT 500 plastic funnel #16617. I haven't installed it yet as I have been working on other calibers the last few months, all larger than 9mm. Dillon sent mine no charge (Thanks Dillon!).
