I recently picked up a used XL650 on here, and going through all the parts and pieces I've come across a couple of bushings that aren't marked and I'm struggling to determine what they are. The Dillon website is useless for this, since all the photos are generic, and a call to their tech support didn't yield much more.
So, I figured I'd reach out to this group and see if anyone can help. I THINK these might be for the XL/Magnum casefeed arm assembly, since the setup I bought also had a second primer setup that was all set up for large primers (with "large" hand-written on the side), had a second casefeed arm assembly (with "large" hand-written on it), and had a second casefeed funnel in a ziplock bag marked "Magnum."
First up is this item - which I THINK might be an older nickel "Large and Magnum" casefeed arm bushing (PN 14397). It doesn't sit down in the arm like the other plastic bushings I have, but it does sit in there and seems to fit if not sitting a little proud.
Second is this item, which I'm sure is a casefeed body bushing but it has no markings/words on it to identify which one it is (the other two I have say "Small" and "Medium"). Also, is it supposed to look like that on the end, or did someone beat the tar out of it with something? I am thinking it might be the XL/Magnum/45-70 casefeed body bushing, but without the markings, not sure. The ID appears close to the same as the above item. The edge almost looks like someone hacked at it with a chisel...
So...any ideas?
Thanks in advance. I've got 9mm dies on the way and a few other loose parts, and looks like I need to get a few more to put it to use on other calibers, but I'm stoked to get started using it.
