Problems with 45ACP in XL650 Casefeeder
Quote from Reloader on April 28, 2008, 1:23 amHi All,
I've loaded thousands of rounds of .45 and .38 on my XL650 and love it.
I also just started using a tiny amount of Dillon Spray Lube and I love it even more.But... I get very regular jams at the mouth of my case-feeder with the 45ACP (no problems with the .38's). I expect that millions of rounds of .45ACP have been loaded in XL650's. What am I doing wrong??
I do know that I have a "old style" funnel, I use the low speed, and have the large plate in the feeder. The XL650 is bolted to a very stable table.
A link to a typical jam is below.

I reload .45 all the time and only occasionally do I have issues and they are generally from having one or two forty cases hiding inside my .45 acp cases. Did you use the block that was supplied with your machine case feed? It only allows one case at a time to fall down inside the well.

Quote from Reloader on August 28, 2008, 8:58 pmDifferent poster, but same problem, which you folks generously addressed by sending me the new style casefeed funnel for my 1994 XL650.
Since I also load 9mm and .38 Super on this press, has the round funnel eliminated the need for the old white plastic baffle that fit in the rectangular funnel for these smaller calibers? If I'm going to need a new baffle for the round funnel, I need to get one of those while I'm thinking about it, rather than when I next go to reload 9mm and realize I've got a problem that will require my ordering another part.
Thanks!
