I was having similar trouble this afternoon. I was looking my 650 over and had removed the shellplate to clean it out. I was surprised to find the two platform mounting bolts were both loose. Because of this, the platform assembly had some wobble on the main shaft. Tightening them up eliminated my problems.

Yes, I have seen that and it very helpful.

Does anyone reload for other rifle calibers than 223 or 308? I understand why folks reload for these because of high volume shooting. Heck, I reload for .223 on my 650. But I have been trying to decide if it is worth the trouble and expense to set up for other calibers, mostly practice rounds for my hunting rifles. .375 H&H, .280, 7mm-08 , .300 H&H, etc. Furthermore, how do you set up your 650 when Dillon doesn't offer an 'official' conversion kit? I assume to you look at the parent case and bullet diameter and pick and choose pieces that look like they should work and go from there? I am curious how many rifle rounds per year folks consider 'enough' before moving from their single stage to their Dillon. I know this is different for everyone, but would like to hear folks' thoughts and insights. Also, after playing with the online caliber conversion charts, has anyone every looked at the most versatile combinations of conversions to buy, with the least duplication of components, that will allow you to swap pieces to reload for the most cartridges? I have a safe full of dozens of calibers and reload for them all on a single stage; however, ordering dedicated conversions for each would be cost prohibitive.

thanks for info............runs off to reloading room with tape measure........

I am going to be pulling the trigger on a 650 with casefeeder soon. How much clearance will I need outside the dimensions of the strong mount on each side?
