Rifle Toolhead Set Up (Page 5)
Station 2 - Installation of powder measure assembly (Figure 85)

1. Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, loosen the two collar clamp screws and remove the powder die Figure 86 and Figure 87.
2. Thread the powder die into Station 2. Screw it down about halfway Figure 88.
3.  Remove the powder funnel from the bag containing the brass locator buttons Figure 89.
  In Figure 90 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 the case mouth as it guides the powder into the case (the expansion of the case mouth is where the mouth of the case gets its bell). 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 Figure 91.  Regardless of  whether you're using a rifle or pistol powder funnel, make sure that you insert the funnel into the die with the grooved end up. It 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 92. Turn down the two clamp screws until they are snug. Then loosen them slightly. The measure should move freely atop the die.
