jnr88 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Help. The Powder drop does not line up and insert smoothly at station 2. This results in damaged cases. Any suggestions are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hops Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Are you sure its the correct caliber die? And everything is seated correctly? Edited November 21, 2013 by hops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlamphere Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Does everything else line up? Make sure the head is all the way in the machine and the pins are in place. Pictures would help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjacobs Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I see you are in St. Louis. I am out of town until Sunday night, but I could come check it out for you when I get back in town. I have experience with 550's and 1050's, but the powder drop/belling is the same in all of them basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnr88 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 The Powder die is correct and the other stations line up perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Have all stations loaded then loosen the powder die. Raise the ram. When the case is fully inserted into the die retighten. Might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjacobs Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just talked to him on the phone. This is a new powder die on a new 650. He is going to try swapping another powder die from his other press(another 650) to check it to see if the die is bad. Im thinking the inside of the die could be machined off center or at an angle. Otherwise possibly the tool head is not machined correctly. He said every other station lines up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
