Case Feed 500 S&W
Quote from Reloader on October 5, 2014, 9:47 pmI am trying to get the XL650 setup to load 500 S&W and figured out all the issues with oversize die on powder system and powder check and correct dies. The issue is now that I have it ready to go I installed the washer on the large pistol plate in the case feeder but the cases still just spin around in the case feeder bin and will not drop into the slot in the case feed plate and thus not into the case feed tube. Am I missing something?

If it is pushing the case by the case mouth it will simply skip over the CF chute opening and you have to manually turn the case around for it to feed. I have tried this with once fired clean cases as well as new cases.
The large pistol plate with the washer installed will feed cases until it gets to about the last 10 and then they just ride over the bumps in the case feed plate and never fall into one of the slots to be fed into the case feed chute. Again you have to manually put them into a slot to be fed.
I have tried this with 20, 30, 40 and 50 cases in the case feeder and the result is always the same. I have no other problems with any large pistol cases, 357, 44, 45, nor any belted mag cases, 300 win mag, 7mm, 264.
