Hello all, and thank you for your interest. What I have here are the necessary components required to smooth the overall cycling of the Dillon XL 650 in order to reduce powder spills, increase production and keep the press clean. The four issues addressed by this upgrade are: 1. Addition of a bearing to the case feed ram cam follower to reduce friction and eliminate the need for lubrication at that point. 2. Replacement of the factory issue shell plate index detent ball with a low mass industrial bearing to reduce impact energy. 3. Replacement of the factory issued shell plate index detent ball spring which has the ideal level of pressure to engage the detent ball into the shell plate. 4. Addition of a bearing atop the shell plate The premium kit has the same 4140 shaft with the bearing, but is professionally blackened. This smooths out the shell case ram and eliminates grease at that point. The Phenolic industrial grade bearing detent ball absorbs shock and is 1/5 the weight of the steel ball. The Music wire coil spring is the exact correct tension to index the shell plate without snap, and my solid oil-lite bronze shell plate top bearing smooths the drag and works without modification of the factory payoff spring

Horrible Shipping and improper fit
I waited almost two weeks for my package to arrive just to find out that the bushing (washer) that goes on the failsafe bracket (bolt) does not fit.The camming pin took a while to fine tune as there's no instructions associated with any of the items included in the package. Also talking about that, the items were taped to the receipt and upon removing the tape to get to the items you end up tearing it up.The index ball and spring fit with no problems, I would like to cycle the machine with all the items on it but unfortunately that's going to be a problem until I get a new bushing. I still cant believe I paid $65 plus shipping for a bushing that does not fit.The other product offered by the same vendor costs $50 and it does not come with the bushing and the camming pin is not painted black:http://www.amazon.com/Dillon-650-Performance-Improvements-Kit/dp/B00I3U2ENK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1443824243&sr=8-3&keywords=dillon+upgrade

I would definitely recommend this product to any Dillon 650 owner
I would definitely recommend this product to any Dillon 650 owner. I just installed all of my parts damn i press runs noticeably smoother. The cam arm was not difficult at all to install and the adjustments are super easy. If you know how to use your Dillon press I'm sure you won't have any problem adjusting the cam arm properly. My bushing fit a bit tight due to some grooves in the center stud from a time when I forgot to back it's set screw out (newb mistake back in the day). But it fit just fine after working it past the grooves. For me the detent and spring made the most noticeable difference, my shellplate doesn't index as abruptly instead it seems to ease into position while still maintaining positive index.4 stars for the shipping method. Delivery was quick the package was good quality but I would highly recommend placing all of these items in a small plastic bag rather than using packing tape and sticking them all receipt.Hail from the PNW stay safe and keep loading.

Never thought the Big Blue would run better..
Well , I was a bit weary of this upgrade package..but tried it anyway to help reduce jumping and powder spill. Received it , installed it....the ball and spring ..no brainer..the roller rod took some caution.I measured the length of the existing beveled factory rod BEFORE removing it..then installed the new rod as close as possible to the old one.Much to my surprise the darn things helped !!....only ran a batch of 12 rounds but there was a noticeable improvement in operation...Never thought the Big Blue would run better...very satisfied and recommend it to anyone with a spill problem...well thought out...John
