Mine is tight as heck. My wild guess would be the cross pin has maybe galled the frame causing it to not move as free as it should?
I would take the set screw out and remove the pin and see what’s up.
Your suggestion is a good one and I will give it a try. I am embarrassed to say that the cross pin has never been lubed. The heat generated from a long loading session may have caused some galling.
I did see that in Dillon’s video called “Major Cleaning and Lubing of the Dillon Precision RL550B” (available on Dillon’s YouTube) they show that locktite should be used on this set screw and that once it is tight you should back it off 1/8th of a turn. That was for the 550 but that screw seems to work the same way on the 650. I don’t remember seeing that in the 650 manual but am also not sure how often people are removing that set screw. -
Where is the set screw you are talking about? Bottom of the shaft? Side?
The one that goes vertically up the bottom of the shaft. Thanks. -
The effort required to pull the handle on my 5 year old XL650 suddenly increased a lot while reloading. I removed the shell plate, platform and primer assembly and the bare main shaft still felt like something was dragging and felt very rough while being raised and lowered. Upon loosening the main shaft set screw a quarter of a turn, all of the extra resistance went away.
How tight is the main shaft set screw supposed to be? Maybe adding some grease to the tip of the set screw would solve my problem and allow it to function properly with the set screw fully tightened.
Thanks in advance for any input on this problem.

You can order the perman grips with the cuts for the techwell. That would be the easiest solution for you. Reach out to him and see if there is any upcharge.

I remember being told you could move the switch between the two positions to allow it to be used on the 550 or 650. Unfortunately I don't think it is the kind of thing you would want to do frequently to switch between the two machines.

Looks cool....which is really what a lot of this stuff comes down to.So, my question is why are these sought after? Excuse my ignorance but I am new to the cz. I just switched from the glock after a few years of competition.
I'm sure someone will say it gives a little extra velocity, but that should be negligible.

Check Red Hill Training out of Maryland. He has a web site that's pretty basic but if you check his Facebook page he has lots of examples of his work. I believe he has 20+ color options for kydex and some of them are very bright. His work is good quality, reasonably priced and he is a competitive shooter who knows how this gear will be used.

Blade Tech makes the WRS duty holster that is available for CZ's. It is on the CZC website but the one customer review is pretty negative. No experience with it myself, just passing it on.

Here's a good explanation...
"To understand why the Accu-Shadow is illegal for SSP, you have to understand what the Accu-Shadow is. It is a custom variant of the CZ75 Shadow, which has an external barrel bushing fitting to it in order to improve accuracy. Barrel bushings are on the list of prohibited modifications in SSP.The Accu-Shadow is made by CZ Custom. CZ Custom is not a division of CZ-USA, but is in fact an independent company. CZ-USA may list the Accu-Shadow on their website, but because the bushing is not an OEM part made by CZ and fitted by CZ, the modifications to the Accu-Shadow make it illegal for SSP, and by default then illegal for IDPA. It’s the difference between a Roush Mustang, which is modified by a third party, and a Mopar Challenger. Dodge owns Mopar, Ford doesn’t own Roush."

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are you arguing that Wilson is owned by Beretta? If not then this is completely unrelated isn't it?
What seems to be missing from the beretta/wilson piece of this discussion is that everything I have read says that Wilson doesn't do any work on the Berettas bearing their name. They created the specs and beretta builds it that way using some of Wilson's parts. This is not analogous to CZ Custom taking a base gun and doing further work on it.

I've loaded 3000 147's, 2000 135's and 1000 165's and have only had 3 total rounds fail my Dillon case gage.
He's using a Hundo which is tighter than your Dillon gauge. Most of the rounds that won't go all the way in my Hundo will drop right into my Dillon gauge.

All of the Silver and the first black anodized Super Match gauges had an 'M' or 'SM' stamped to the right of the 9x19, plus a 'Supermatch' sticker that could be applied and an extra informational card (copy below)
The most recent black anodized ones have 'Supermatch' engraved front and center and should come with the card as well.
Thanks. That was very helpful.

How are these marked to differentiate them from the regular 9? Thanks.
-
Beside what would a play with while your shooting!!! I can click all sorts of morris code with it!!!
This made me crack up. I thought I was the only one who did that.

Jut backorder it from Grafs. I just had a backorder filled that was placed only a few months ago.
-
Also look at Brazos Custom. They sell a hard chrome Edge with a few popular upgrades and they are tuned by a well respected gunsmith before they go out the door.
-
Tech well TGO. I like the Dawson competition base pads on their mags the best. The aeem to have a little extra length on the back that makes them the easiest to seat with a bigger magwell.
-
I received an email saying they are offering free shipping on gun purchases. I don't recall ever seeing any other coupon codes.
-
I haven't bought any in a few years, but the ones I have do have small ridges to facilitate stacking.
-
Sounds like these mags were altered by the store you bought them from. I have a bunch of factory 10 rounders and none of them have "welded" (epoxied?) base plates.
-
Look on ebay for the 650 live primer fix. The seller is top notch and so is his product. It seems a bit expensive but not having to worry that there is a missing live primer on the floor of my garage is priceless.
-
Where do you guys wear your load2 style rigs?
Too smart ass to answer "at the range"?
Kidding aside, I wear the Otto vest an inch or two above the top of my regular belt centered left to right.
-
It can be done, you'll need a new slide, barrel, extractor, ejector and mags
Price out the parts, then add the cost of a gunsmith, then figure out if it's worth it
Having priced this out before, unless you want to also shoot 45 it would have to be a hell of a deal to justify not buying something that is already in 40.

As someone who used to shoot a lot of IDPA, I got a good laugh out of the OP's video. I just would have liked to have seen a camera angle that showed the faces of the people standing around watching. My club would not have had any issue with someone shooting an open gun not for score and anyone who does is way too uptight.
XL650 - Main Shaft Set Screw Issue
in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Posted
So I went to take the main shaft pivot pin out and it didn’t want to come out even with the retaining screw fully removed. I soaked it in penetrating oil and let it sit for a while and then was able to hammer it out. It looks like on one side there is some marring of the finish on both the pin and the frame that I assume is galling. Here is a pic of the pin:
Can this be fixed myself or does it need to be sent back to Dillon? Thanks for any input.
