pmclaine Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have the machine broke down for caliber change/maintenance. I havent seen anything regards lube for the detent ball under the shell plate. Does the ball get grease or oil. I had some issues with it collecting junk and not returning to position as I was finishing up my last run. I couldnt tell if it came from Dillon with grease or oil as lube. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I run mine clean and dry. I don't know if that's right but anything on it and it attracts crud and doesn't move smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmclaine Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Makes sense for magazines and that is the issue I was running into. I usually load jacketed but just finished my first run of lead and I found its a messy task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 No lube on the detent ball, but do lightly grease the underside of the shellplate lock ring, and the interior bearing surface of the shellplate where it rotates around the shaft. Just enough grease to make the parts shiny, no advantage in globbing it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
