Pistol Toolhead Set Up (Page
3)
Station 2 - Installation of
the powder measure assembly (Figure 32)
1. Use a
5/32" Allen wrench to loosen the two collar clamp screws and remove the powder
die Figure 33 & 34.
2. Screw the powder die into Station 2. Stop when the die is flush with
the bottom of the toolhead Figure 35.
3. Remove the powder funnel Figure 36 from the
bag containing the locator buttons.
About Powder Funnels:
In Figure 37 are two examples of the many powder funnels
available for the XL 650. On the left is a typical pistol caliber funnel. On the right, a
rifle or bottle-necked type. The bottom of the rifle-style
funnel fits snugly over the neck of the case, allowing powder to drop in without spilling
(the rifle-style powder funnel does not bell the mouth of the case). The bottom of the
pistol funnel, on the other hand, fits inside and actually expands and bells as it guides
the powder into the case. Powder funnels are caliber specific, so be sure you have the
correct funnel
by referring to the caliber conversion chart.
4. Insert the
funnel into the die Figure38. Make sure that you insert the funnel into
the die with the grooved end up. The funnel should move up and down freely.
5. Remove the lid and the protective cardboard tube from the
powder measure and place it onto the powder die Figure 39. Turn down the
two clamp screws until they are snug. Then loosen them slightly. The measure should move
freely atop the die.
