Makes your Dillon 650 a smooth as butter !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered this kit along with a roller bearing for the auto index ramp. I have loaded 100's of thousands rounds on my 650 over the last 15 years and I will tell you it has never been as smooth as it is now!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has increased my loads per hour and my arm doesn't get tired. I am a mechanic by trade and I will tell you these parts are of the highest quality. I was so impressed that I also ordered the primer shut off and case feeder shut off products as well and they are all very thought out and work flawlessly... I am awaiting the same basic parts for my Love/Hate Dillon 900 Shot shell press.. I cant wait to install them and see if it does as much to help as it did on my 650.
Thank you for making affordable upgrades that work really well!!!!
Best money I ever spent on any reloading upgrade hands down!!!!

The camming pin needs to have another 3/4 inch of threads on the shaft.
Overall excellent quality. The detent ball, detent spring, and low friction bearing are excellent quality. However, the camming pin with roller bearing is not compatible with all Dillon XL650 reloading presses. The camming pin shaft needs to be threaded an additional 3/4 inch. In its current design, the case insert slider cannot fully insert the case into the shell plate on the XL650 press. If possible, I would an updated camming pin because I like the idea of a roller bearing as opposed to a sliding tip on the plastic cam.Read full review

AN UPGRADE THAT REALLY WORKS.
Saw this on you tube, thought I would try it out on my XL 650. The part that the roller bearing rolls on should last forever. Press seems to run quieter and smoother. The ball bearing and bushing for the shell plate eliminated the shell plate snap totally . I'm very happy about that. I love it when you upgrade your equipment and the upgrade really works and this one really does.Read full review

The best press, just got better.
I've had my xl650 for about 20 years and really didn't really think it could get much better (it's that good). This made a significant difference to the smooth operation of the press. With short cases like 9mm and 45acp, you get significantly less powder jostling and loss during indexing. It also gives you a better tactile feel for what is going on with the press.
I highly recommend this product.Read full review

Smooth as glass
No modifications to the press are necessary. No more spilt powder due to the shell plate snapping into place. Can really tell the difference in how smooth the press is now. Dillon should have designed it with these parts to begin with. Great product, excellent and precise machining.Read full review

Quick and easy
These parts installed quite easily and fit well. They improved my 650's cycling, powder spilling issues, and lowered the noise significantly. If you're on the edge about buying this kit, just do it - it's great!Read full review

Excellent products - As advertised.
High quality material and workmanship is evident. Only improvement could be the addition of instructions (had to go to the internet to double check installation). Even with the lack of instructions, I would not take anything away from my very positive review of these products. Thanks!Read full review

Great way to smooooooth the operation of the press
Kit was very easy to install and is much more effective than grease on contact points. The reduced tension spring plus plastic ball reduces the snap as the shell holder stops. The bronze bearing is a great option to hold the shell holder rigid while allowing uniform movement. Slide cam also works very well. ALL items were well made and I would highly recommend them.Read full review

Smoother-faster-cleaner
These improvements instantly made my Dillon feel far more controllable, allowing smoother, faster cycles and reducing shaken powder on the shellplate. These products are the missing link for loading full power 9mm or other short case cartridges. I wish I had bought this sooner!Read full review

Great Product
The quality is very good. The lighter detent ball and spring makes indexing so much smoother. Pair this with the indexing bearing. No more grease!
