Issues with my new 650XL

The ejector wire is supposed to be STRAIGHT, not curved. Mine can be easily taken off but it never poped up by itself. This is very strange.
 
I've tried tightening the shellplate so that there's absolutely no "wiggle" but juuuuuuust enuf slack to turn without binding. No difference. It's adjusted as per Dillon's specs the rest of the time.

Dillon told me to put a bend in the section of wire that sits in the toolhead. Helped for awhile (mebbe 20 rounds) and then back to rising. I then tried bending 180* the other way, same problem.

So then I tried bending it 90* sideways, which is why you see the ejector wire "cocked" at an angle. Seemed to do the trick, but after 10-20 rounds, same $hit.

I've tried a spare ejector wire, good for 20 rounds and then back to the same issue.

I'm wondering if the index ring which broke (vids 2 & 3, I think) had anything to do with what seemed to be a very slight mis-indexing when I reloaded my last batch of 40. I do know that this particular problem didn't manifest itself after I replaced the idex ring. Anybody else ever bust one? It was included in my spare parts kit (thank god for that kit).

I really didn't want to bother you with this, but I think you're my only hope now.... :redface:
 
PM me when you are available. I will bring some parts and try some evil combinaison to make it work. You have an excellent press, it's a shame that you can make it work properly. :(
