Conducting the Caliber Conversion
(The following steps are in the
sequential order in which the caliber conversion is to be conducted):
Note: Included in the following is a
complete list of all the items that need to be considered when conducting a caliber
conversion. This is not a list of all the items that will need to changed or
readjusted this is a complete list of all the items that may need to be changed or
readjusted. The items that need to be changed or readjusted will depend on the caliber
your XL 650 is currently set up to load and the caliber you're changing to.
Step 1
Remove the cases from the machine:
1. Turn off the casefeed system
2. Remove the remaining cases from the casefeed tube and the
casefeed bowl.
Step 2 Remove the powder from the powder measure. Depending on the caliber change, you may have to change powders and/or the powder bar. If so, you'll need to empty the powder from the powder measure.
Step 3 Remove
the toolhead Figure 157.
1. Disconnect the failsafe rod Figure 155.
2. Remove the toolhead pins and slide the toolhead out.
Step 4 Remove
the shellplate. Remove the shellplate only if you need to either, change the
shellplate for a different caliber shellplate, or if you need to remove the primer system
(such as when emptying the primers from the primer system).
1. Using a 1/8" Allen wrench loosen the shellplate set screw Figure 158.The shellplate set screw is located on the left side of the
mainshaft just below the shellplate platform. Do not remove the screw, just loosen it
about a half turn.
2. Using a 1/4" Allen wrench remove the shellplate bolt Figure 159.
3. Swing the ejector wire out of the way and remove the shellplate. Be
sure that index ball and index pawl remain in place Figure 160.
4. Remove the locator buttons Figure 161.
