Strong Mount Bolt Spacing

#1 · February 18, 2019, 5:05 pm

Hey all!!
Long time reader, first time poster here.

I am about finished building a new reloading bench and need to make sure that the crossbar supports under the work surface are spaced correctly to mount my XL650.
Does anyone have the center-to-center measurements for the bolts that hold the 650-only strong mount to the bench top?

I've set up 3 650s with the Dillon 650XL only Strong Mount. All 3 were set up with these hole measurements: Front to Back 9" / Side to Side (left to right) 9 3/4". To check for squareness diagonal is 13 1/4". All measurements are take from the hole center point.

Perfect.
Figured that I could also dig it out from the bottom of my small mountain of boxes of reloading materials and equipment but that would take an evening by itself.
Bought this press last April, opened the two boxes when they arrived so that I could check and make sure that everything I ordered was in the box, and then re-boxed it and put it away.
Finally get to set it up in a week or two.
Thank you for the measurements, Much appreciated.

Thank you KeenanLotz for the measurements to use.

I'm in the process of getting a bench built and that will be helpful.

Thanks

Setup a XL750 today. The 9 3/4" side to side will give you about 2.75" on the centerline of the elongated holes or slots on the top.

NOPE....the XL750 requires 4". SO, for MY XL750, the correct side to side dimension SHOULD have been 11". Had to move it...

Just passing along. Don't know if the base on an XL650 is different from the base on an SL750....but would advise that you follow instructions and mount the press....THEN drill your holes.

9" back to front were fine....
