japarker82 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I have an issue where the piece of brass in station one leans causing it to hit the edge of the decap die. This happens whether I load 40 or 9 mm. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 This issue comes up on a regular basis. If you search the forum you will hopefully find a bunch of feedback.

sharko Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 When I've had the problem it was either misadjusted camming pin, usually pushing the brass too far in or my shell plate was loose so the indexing ball was pushing it up and causing the lean.

ezra650 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's a common/known issue of the 650/750. It's one reason that Dillon size dies are flared and if you ask them they will simply tell you to use their dies...LOL It's a poor design and the major Achilles heel of the 650 IMO. There is no case retention on that station. The index ring clicking into place or any other vibration or disturbance can cause the case to slide back out enough to hit the die. Even with dillon dies. Straight walled cases all do it. The longer the case the worse it gets. Don't even try to load 38/357 on a 650 using a non dillon size die. Instant rage and headache. One other issue is the entire platform can be warped/damaged if you have this jam occurring repeatedly and the press crunches the case. It could also just be the platform is loose and you need to tighten the 2 allen bolts holding it to the mainshaft. I fought this issue for a while on an older 650. Eventually I upgraded to 1100s and have never looked back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwos Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) There is a way to partially mitigate this using 3D printed shell guides: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5243855 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5243855 They don't last forever, but they definitely make a very substantial difference. If you want to use the Lee 9mm die, print the Dillon guide at 95% size. Edited August 15, 2022 by erwos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
