dtt255 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ok got everything all setup on the 650...but running into a small issue. When moving from station 2-3. From the powder station to the powder check station when the shell plate 'snaps' into the 3rd station (check station) it snaps so hard powder jumps out of the shell that was just filled. Ummm....I don't want to mess with it needlessly....how do I fix this issue to maybe make it a bit 'smoother' so it doesn't 'jerk' powder out of the shell? Thanks DTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread1911 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I had the same problem. The problem for me was the case insert was too far up. I do not have the part number but it needed the rod coming from the top of the press turned lowered. After I adjusted that rod so the brass was not snapping into station one the powder stopped jumping out of my cases. Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I will break out the manual.

dan45hk Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The indexing ball spring can be cut, washer/bearing used on the shell plate, and indexer block adjusted. There are a bunch of threads here explaining what to do for the fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yes, do a search in the 650 tips and tricks. Every 650 does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sr20ve Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 You can learn to ride the reset so to speak just as it hits the index portion and slow down at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastiff Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I hated that problem. Besides doing all of the above, make sure that bench is stable and not flexing. I just set up a new bench (my third and hopefully last) over 15 years and this time my presses are mounted solid and steady. It will help a lot after ironing out the suggestions from the other guys here. Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub5818 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Clip the ball bearing detent spring. I didnt think it was going to be an issue with mine, but i ended up having to clip a full coil off. Worked like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
