Dillon 650 question.

[Motobob]

I have noticed some splashing of powder when the shell plate indexes. I'm going quite slow but get a small amount splashing from the case when indexing to the bullet placement position. I realize I'm not making match grade ammo here but it makes a mess and is annoying if nothing else. Anyone have any ideas ??? Adjusting detent pressure ?

this may seem silly, but are you using the little brass buttons on the index wheel? Make sure you have the correct size, My first set up, had pins for the .45 in a box for the 9mm. The 9 mm pins have a larger top, which took up the space left between the case and the .45 pins, doing much to alleviate the wobble.

Otherwise, the index tension might be it.

Put the bullet in the case mouth before it rotates

I'm guessing you're not familiar with the 650 as it's auto indexing and you would have to stop and start mid stroke to do what you suggest. It would operate like your first car, slow and jerky

Yep, I've only run a 650 for 2 years, it takesa little practice and you've got it.

That is unless you are loading 223's with ballpowder that almostfill the entire case up - there is some spillage - annoying fact of life

I have very little spillage on my LNL AP

Only time I've had issues is with 9mm and blue dot which fills the cases way close to the top.

That's the very reason I don't use Blue Dot for 9mm anymore. It was the first powder I used, though, so I'll always have a soft spot for it. It does a great job for .357 magnum. Fourteen grains of the stuff behind a 125gr. JHP equals big fun!

Try Blue Dot in a 9mm

Exceptional Powder - very clean in 9mm.
