Dillon 750 and 30-06 help

[GFO270]

I have a new Dillon 750 and am trying to reload some 30-06 on it. The problem is that the brass gets stuck coming out of the feed tube. Anyone have any suggestions?

Best I can think if is wrong size feed tube or cases are bigger that expected. You could also try adding a thin layer of lube like beeswax to help feed it through.

There is plenty of space in the bushings, but the arm is closing before the case can leave the bushing.

Put a powerful autodrive on it.

I have had this happen a few time on the XL 650. When it did, I either had to:

- adjust (right to left) the case feed up on top and make sure the angle of the tube is not causing the problem; or

- make sure the support arm is not putting a bend in the tube or angle in the tube and causing a problem.

You want a straight down unobstructed drop in the case tube.

Also, it does not hurt to grease around the lightly case feed arm.

Good luck OP.

Are you able to raise the housing up?

Just making sure there's not tumbling media getting in there hanging it up?

Turn the black triangle thing around.

And the winner is…. Two dogs! That was the exact fix! I didn't even know that pice could reverse (the machine is about 6 months old so I'm still learning a lot!) Thank you all for the feedback!

Flag on the play! Information about changing from pistol to rifle caliber omitted by OP.

Penalty is - taking off the shell plate and conversion kit and doing a full system clean-up

This corrective action is just and I accept the punishment.

In all things it's always one of three things..

1: jiggle the handle
2: release the kraken
3: reverse the plastic diamond thing

I though it was duct tape and bailing wire? Before that it was electrical tape and bailing wire.
