blankley Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 XL650. I've been having trouble with feeding .45 long colt cases. They're hanging up on the yellow bushing every half dozen cases or so. I don't have a casefeeder attached (no power in the reloading shed). I've reloaded 9mm and 45 acp before and never had the problem (rimless, I guess). Anyone know what I need to adjust to get the rimmed cases to consistently feed?

gm iprod Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Check the size of the body collar, aluminium bushing above case slider, you will need large. Also check that the arm bushing goes all the way inward over the body collar bush. Check the position of the black case slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oiled the arm too), and the black case slider is all the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Can you please clarify exactly where cases are hanging up? Does it occur as the pivoting arm swings beneath the case feed adapter, or when the swing arm pivots to drop the case in front of the plunger?

The rim of the next case sits on the yellow arm bushing. Wiggle the casefeed tube, and the round falls into the bushing.

dillon Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It sounds like the swing arm needs to go back a bit further under the case. There is a set screw that controls how far the swing arm goes underneath the feed tube. easiest to find it in the exploded drawing on page 52 in the current XL650 manual. Lower drawing, titled" Casefeed Body Assembly", part 2 on the drawing, stock#14326. Back this screw out 1/2 turn, then see if the swing arm travels further.

Now it's smooth as silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
