Timing on the Dillon 650

[gokyo]

SO I was talking to Dillon Yesterday. I explained to them that my shell plate was rotating a little bit to far. As a result the Primers where not lining up directly beneath the Primer pocket.

I explained that If I just nudged it back a little it worked fine.

Dave or Dan ( I can't rememeber) told me that the timing was off on my press. He then told me he was going to send me a kit to fix it.

Has anyone ever done this before?

What will I have to do?

When I figure it out should I take pictures to post?

Just make sure you have the ram at top dead center when you do it. Do you have a timing light?

This adjustment involves moving the index cam attached to the left side of the frame just a smidgen.
The alignment tool is a steel soda straw, bored at each end to accept the large and small primer punch. Takes about 2 minutes or so to tweak, instructions are actually very clear that come with the tool.:blues:

I can loan him mine, haven't used it in years.

Unless you are me and the press was 10+ years old.....

Seriously, my press had some timing issues that were beyond fixing with the tool- sent it to the Dillon desert spa, came back in EXCELLENT working condition; looked like the mainshaft pivot pin was replaced.

Can load large primers again without catching the lip of every 3rd primer on the shellplate and flipping it under the case. :patriot:

Thanks to MOGO for making it go
