  1. Isn't powder coating much thicker than anodizing? Seems like it would be too thick, but I'm not sure...

    RDA - sweet! All the same color, or a mix? You'll have to report on how you like them.

    I still would like an "upgrade option, where I could send in my "normal" tool head and say $10 or $15 for an anodized version...

  2. Yep they sell covers, but:

    1.) $15 a pop plus shipping, so that'd be over $100

    2.) way too big if you don't have a powder measure

    3.) still get spider webs on the two covers I do have - looking for another solution

  3. So my reloading setup is in my garage/workshopshop - and I live on an avocado grove. So keeping out pests is a full-time problem, as is dust and dirt. Mice, lizards, black widows, etc. are always around. The cats keep the mice in check to a limited degree. I store things in 56qt Sterlite containers from Wallyworld, as well as tupperware and ammo cans. And, I found 4"x4"x4" cardboard boxes really cheap from U-Line - they make fantastic cast boolit storage.

    One thing I don't have, is a way to store tool heads, without them becoming magnets for spiders. I want it convenient, not tucked away in an ammo can.

    I'd like to know what others do and their techniques...? Bench photos are great too.

  4. I have gone through all the troubleshooting documents I could find, and made sure I have everything just so, but I seem to have a problem with my new 650 and Varget powder. I have loaded a lot of VV 340 in 45 Auto and didn’t experience the issue.

    In a nutshell, every few rounds of 30-06, a little bit of Varget “sprinkles down” from the powder die all over everything. This happens woth a "delay" between cases, not as the case comes down from the die. It doesn’t seem to do it everytime

    I don’t reload too fast (I think)

    I have the failsafe rod adjusted per Dillon recommendation,

    I have the plastic plug in the measure, short side for 30-06

    Thanks

  5. Hello everyone, I am the new owner of a Dillon XL 650, with casefeeder, strongmount, aluminum handle, etc., setup for 45 ACP, delivered Thursday!!! I downloaded and read the manual before it arrived, and have been pouring over the forums as well.

    I haven't loaded anything yet, I am a setting it up making sure it is working right. I am trying to do a "dry run" and I am having problems with the cases not being dropped through the case feed body bushing, AND not making it to casefeed arm bushing. If the casefeed arm moved 1/16th of an inch more at both "ends" of travel, there would be no issues. I don't see anyhthing blocking the travel, but if I pull the arm just a tad towards the Casefeed Arm Stop Pin, the cses drop in.

    Again it is brand new and appears to be lubricated... So I am at a loss...

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
