Reliable Case Feeding
Quote from Reloader on January 18, 2013, 2:38 amI have a new XL650 that is set up for 45 ACP. I have the case feeder on it. Right now I am not getting reliable case feeds between the "Red" case feed adapter and the "Red" case feed bushing. I have tried moving the case feed adapter up and down within the case body assy, but it seems like I get a case that tilts itself sideways and won't feed. As you are looking at the press the case edges catch on the right metal part of the case feed arm and just rides in there as the press operates. I end up wiggling the case feed tube to drop the case into the case feed adapter. I probably have about a 50-60% failure rate.
Any advise or tips?

Remove the case feed tube and look down through the red adapter to check. It is controlled by set screw 14326, part two on the casefeed body assembly drawing on page 50. If the arm comes back too far, thread the screw down slightly, 1/8 -1/4 turn at a time. If not coming back far enough, the reverse.
