Dillon Precision XL 650 - Manual (Page 33)

Add some empty cases to your casefeeder
and turn the unit “on”. The motor will run
until the clear casefeed tube fills and then it
will automatically shut off.
The reloading process on an XL 650
begins with one complete stroke or cycle of
the handle, which causes the first case to be
cycled through the casefeed system and fed
into the shellplate.
Station One
The first case is at station one of the
machine and a new primer is ready at sta-
tion 2. Move the handle down, the sizing
die reforms and also deprimes the first case.
Return the handle to its rest position. Using
a smooth, fluid motion, move the handle up
to its full aft stop to seat the new primer into
the case and release the handle. At the
same time, another case has been fed into
the shellplate.
Station Two
Again, cycle the handle completely. The
first case now gets a charge of powder, the
second case is resized and deprimed, then
they both advance to the next stations.
Using a smooth, fluid motion, move the
handle up to its full aft stop to seat the
new primer into the case. Return the han-
dle to its rest position. Now three cases
are in the shellplate.
Station Three
Cycle the handle. The first case enters the
powder checker, the second case is charged
with powder and the third case is resized
and deprimed. Again, return the handle to
its rest position and all the cases advance to
their next stations and the fourth case is
inserted into the shellplate.
Station Four
It is now time to begin placing a bullet on
the case at station four. Cycle the handle
down and then back up to its rest position.
The first case now has a bullet seated into it
and has advanced to station five. At this
point the shellplate is full.
Seat a primer into a case at the full aft
stroke of the handle and a case is inserted
into the shellplate automatically.
Station Five
Using your left hand, place a bullet on the
case at station four. Cycle the handle and
the first case is crimped at station five and
then ejected out at the right rear of the
machine into the collection bin. Repeat the
process by placing a bullet into the case at
station four and seating the primer into the
case at station two.
At this point a completed round is ejected
from the machine with every complete
stroke of the handle.
When operating the handle, pay close
attention to the cases, noting the changes
that take place as they go through the
machine.
Pace yourself when operating the
machine. Do not crash the handle down
against its stop and do not snatch the han-
dle upward. It should take two or more
seconds to move the handle from its rest
position, down and then back up to its
rest position.
