i have a problem with my xl650

the shellplate rotates easy and is abaut 1/8 loosed from tight

but everytime the rotation comes near endposition the shellplate speeds up and the case stop is hard that some powder is overwhelmig the case

caliber is 9mm and it happen with every case-brand

does someone now this problem or got an idea ?

Push down on the edge of the shellplate at station 4. If it feels springy, then the shellplate bolt still needs a bit more tightening. How old is your 650? Serveral years ago we weakened the spring under the detent ball. You can safely clip about 1/2 coil from this spring.

hi and thanks for your fast reply

the 650 is about 2 years old

but the shellplate is realy close to tight

my guess ia a too strong spring under the dentent ball as well

E-mail us your name and address and we will mail a new spring to you.

I have the same problem (9x21 caliber), but my reloading machine was bought one week ago (and the packaging seems new).

Could I cut the spring under the ball (as you suggest) to obtain the same, identical kind of spring you would send in sobstitution?

Sorry for my english.

Thanks in advance.
