I recently purchased a Dillon XL650, it's great! After doing single stage reloading for a while, I realized I really needed a progressive machine and I made the plunge.
It arrived and I put it together one night, everything went together fine. I am impressed with the quality of all of the parts.
The one thing I am not sure of though, is the powder measure failsafe rod. It seems to bend at what I think is an odd angle (it is not actually bending, but it does have a good amount of tension on it and it is at on odd angle that points out and away from the reloader). Sometimes the shoulder washer (the white piece of plastic) comes out of the failsafe return bracket. Because of that, sometimes the rod will touch the return bracket with the threads, though it is tightened up correctly.
Failsafe Rod
In addition to this, something that may be a clue as to why it could be odd to me. The top part of the lock link (shown in the picture below, the finger is touching it) is actually rubbing against the powdermeasure, causing a small shiny mark underneath the edge. This happens when the crank is pulled and there is full travel in the links.
Everything is working, I adjusted it to throw the powder and it is very accurate. My question really is, is this normal?
Here is dillons help site listing for what I am having problems with. It may help with some terminology.
