dtt255 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 There were no instructions that came with my powder check system. I noticed that there was 3 rods that came with it. Which rod is for which caliber. Can anyone point me in the right direction on setting this up correctly? Thanks Dtt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan45hk Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Going from memory... you want the biggest rod that will fit inside the cases you are reloading. Weigh out the powder charge and pour it in the case, when the rod enters the case it should not set off the beeper. However an undercharge or overcharge should set it off. You can simulate an undercharge with an empty case or no case. It takes a little playing around to get it just right, make sure you don't stress the beeper tab too much or it can break. There is a nut on the rod you need to to tighten so the adjustment doesn't come undone. The actual instructions might be on Dillon's site under the 650 manual.

Buzi Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) well, yes the manual is on the dillon site so go download and read that. EDIT. I just looked. No no specific manual for that system on their site however the instructions for the powder check setup and those rods are all in your XL650 manual!!! Well it shouldnt' be to hard to finger that out. Use the rod that fits inside the case ya are loading for. Going from memory, and mine is weak.. big one is for 45 and up calibers. Next one down should work fine with 40mm ,9mm 38 calibers, and the teeny one for those toy calibers like 5.56 NATO and 380ACP. Do read that manual as the set up for rest of it may very well be non - obvious. Edited March 11, 2013 by Buzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzi Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Students, head to page 30 of your XL650 2007 manual.......... Edited March 11, 2013 by Buzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtt255 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ah I was on page 23 as trying to find the answer under the 'powder check system' area. So I just didn't get to that adjustment area yet. Thanks for replies ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
