You didn't. Janeau did ( http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3940602&postcount=16 ) leading peter2772000 off on a wild goose chase ( http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3958732&postcount=29 ), which I hauled up ( http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3958952&postcount=32 ) because I didn't want to see peter2772000 going nuts looking for die-centring references in his manual, which sparked some information from you about adjusting shellplates.When did I ever say you could center dies
I have continued to respond so that peter2772000 is clear about not looking for die-centring instructions. I think that point is now abundantly clear, so I'll leave it at that.

I'll be using Hornady One Shot as recommended by Antoine from now on. If it can't hurt and will smooth the process, I've got precious little to lose.
I also read about using a thrust bearing on the shellplate bolt. It just so happens I have one lying around which fits, so that mod should help with the rather minor but annoying issue I had with powder spillage while operation the crank handle.
Time to get on the phone with Dillon. Thanks for all the advice!

Lyman Quick Spray lube is a better bet. The Hornady stuff leaves a gummy residue that will pick up dust and gunk. It works fine but I just find it's just messy and you'll have to clean your dies more often. The Lyman spray dries up residue-free, so it stays clean and makes the cases very slick in the dies.
I leave station 2 as a blank so that I seat the bullet at station 4. I set the bullet in place as the shell plate rotates, but before the case fully indexes into place, and that completely avoids spillage, which is good because my load fills the case to the top. Doesn't cost me any time either and I can visually inspect each throw before seating the bullet.
FWIW: I've been using this 650 for about 18 years now. Not one single problem. Before I started lubing cases I snapped several handles off a Square Deal, so there's a lot of torque there that you don't need to deal with.
