I had always thought fast burning powders were better for lighter loads and slower burning was better for high power loads. Maybe I'm off base

Can anyone suggest a load recipe for VV N310. I've seen some recipes for 147gr 9mm bullets but not 124gr. A friend gave me some to try. I also have some 45acp 230gr RN bullets if it would be better for that. I've heard it's a powder that you have to be careful with because it spikes quickly. Titegroup does too and I've used it successfully for 124gr

Does the case feeder come with both small and large plate or do they just include the one that matches whatever the press is set up for (45acp or 9mm) when Dillon ships it. I don't remember if I got both of them with my press, it's been 3 or 4 years

I have had by 650 for about 3 or 4 years now. I had it set up by DIllon for 45 acp when I bought it. I have used it exclusively for 45acp and have never switched calibers yet. Currently, I use my 550b for 9mm. I am thinking of switching the 650 to 9mm because I am shooting 9mm a lot more and use the 550 for 45acp. I know it's a pain, did Dillon provide everything I need to switch? How about the case feeder? Is there anything I have to acquire from Dillon to change case feeder over to 9mm?

I seem to be having a problem with primers landing sideways in station 1 of shell plate. IT seems to be more of a common problem since I got one of these JW Systems Primer Slide Bearing Track Plate. Anybody else have this issue?

Does anyone with an XL650 clean the plastic tube that drops cases from the case feeder, or do you just get another one from Dillon. Mine is pretty gunked up.

Does that help keep the primer slide from sticking?

Does anybody use aerosol graphite on the primer bearing plate as opposed to the powder. I use the powder graphite but it seems to make a mess

Thanks for responding. Not sure what you mean by the tube base. Are you talking about the tube with the red/blue tips on them?

I bought this part JW Systems Primer Slide Bearing Track Plate. It works pretty well but you still have to make sure you don't tighten the screws too tight. There seems to be a fine line between too tight and not tight enough. Too tight and the primer slide sticks, even using the new part I bought. Too loose and the plate and slide start wobbling. Seems like in efforts to keep from tightening too tight, I am constantly having too tighten the screws some more. I wonder if some non permanent lock tight could be used.

I received the new part referred to above by 12GLOCKS, JW Systems Primer Slide Bearing Track Plate. It remedys the problem of the bar sticking but I still have problems getting the primers to drop into the cup. I figure I need to bend the operating rod a bit as mentioned by SARGE. Any ideas on where and how much to bend it? A video would be great. I don't want to booger up the rod and have to call Dillon and then wait for another one.

Duh, of course. What was I thinking. My brain is on vacation today. Thanks for the quick response

The roller bracket assembly is loose on my 550b. It bolts onto the bottom of the platform with a couple of hex screws that have to be tightened with an allen wrench. Space is pretty tight. Any ideas how to get in there a tighten the assembly tighter to the platform

Just ordered me one of them..........thanks everybody. This forum is awesome for getting quick solutions. Hopefully, I'll have it in time to load up some more rounds in time for the competition shoot at our local range in 10 days.

This has some pretty good reviews, 4 1/2 stars

It is my understanding, and I could be wrong, that bending the rod is the recommended solution when the primer slide doesn't go back far enough to pick up a primer. This is a little different problem, the primer slide is actually sticking and not coming forward (unless I nudge it with my finger). As I mentioned in the OP, I've tried the usual recommendations like polishing with steel wool or liquid graphite. Those usually help but not this time.

I am having trouble with the primer slide sticking in the rearmost position and not pushing forward and delivering a primer. This happens now with about 1 out of every 4 or 5 rounds. In the past I've been able to correct this by sprinkling powdered graphite on the platform the primer track bearing and primer slide rest on. I've also tried polishing the primer slide, platform and primer track bearing with steel wool to no avail. When the primer slide sticks I just nudge it with my finger and it moved forward as it should. Maybe I just need a new spring or primer slide. Any suggestions?

I usually don't either, except powder. But what happened is the decapping pin bent on the sizing die and I haven't had time to fix it. I still have 30 primers in the magazine

XL650, sorry about that. I was on the Dillon Forum earlier and they have a separate forum for 650 and 550, I forgot where I was, seems to be happening a lot these days . I have a 550b too and yeah, your right they are both totally different primer magazine

I still have about 30 primers in the primer magazine left from my last session of reloading What is the easiest way to get them out without spilling primers all over the place

I don't get kernels on my arm or any part of me, for that matter. I just notice it in the gun when I clean it, If it doesn't hurt the gun any, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Btw, the bullets are 124gr plated.

I'm using 3.9 with 124 extreme RN. I don't remember the OAL. I'd have to look when I get home. That's pretty light , I know, but it's for a competition shoot, so, I'm trying to minimize the recoil

no

How do you get the little specs of gunpowder out of your gun, or do you? Those particles stick to the gun when it's well lubed with CLP, etc.

I use Accurate #2 for 9mm and really like it. I've noticed that sometimes I get little specs of gun powder in various places inside my gun (M&P CORE 9L). Anybody else have this issue with AA #2. Any remedy (beside the obvious, quit using it, which is not an option).
