Dillon powder measure canting to right on upstroke

[MemphisMechanic]

Press is a 650 with about 30-40k rounds through it, set up in 9mm.

This DOES continue to happen when the failsafe rod is removed. As the obvious culprit, I took that black rod off thinking it was pulling down on the front right corner of the powder measure and causing this. Any ideas? Seen this before?

It still appears to meter correctly, but the lean is severe enough that the powder measure is actually pinned against the primer magazine tube at the top of the upstroke.

Call Dillon.
My 1050 cants during downstroke, part of the design I figured. Meters perfect.

x2 on calling Dillon.  

That's pretty bad.  Mines never done that before.

I suspect that the white delrin sleeve inside the connector body collar has fallen out. Detach the powder measure from the top of the powder die, and look up into the bottom of it. You will see a steel tube, and you should also see a white ring around it. The sleeve can fall out if you take the powder measure off the die and cycle the measure, as you might do to finish emptying the powder from it. You might check inside the last can of powder you used. If you cannot find it , phone or email us for a replacement. If you email us, please include your address.

Dillon,

That has to be it. I had just done exactly what you described and figured a bushing of some sort was missing. Is this sleeve in the spare parts kit by any chance?

This sleeve is not in the spare parts kit.
