Hey guys, I'm from down under and I've been using an XL650 for a few years (maybe 4 or 5 years) now, but I've just managed to break my second indexing ring in that time period.
Is there any reason why I should be breaking them? Anything I should be looking out for?
The first time I broke one I replaced it with one from a parts kit but now I'm kind of stuck. Local suppliers/importers don't seem to honor the Dillon lifetime warranty. Do you guys send new parts to overseas users at all?

The most common causes for breaking ring indexers are:
Lack of grease on inside diamter of ring indexer, and on camming surfaces.
Shellplate bolt tightens, preventing the shellplate from rotating
a damaged case rim prevents the case from ejecting
the primer seating punch is dirty, and protrudes above the top of the bushing surrounding it-when removed from the machine, the face of the punch should be between flush to .020" below flush.

Ah so if a case or two catches on the ejector wire, this can break it? This is exactly what happened just before it broke. I had one or two case catch up on the wire and then it stopped indexing.
I'll take a little more care with that in the future.
E-mail sent with my address. Thanks guys.

By the way, those parts arrived a couple weeks ago, thanks guys. Excellent service, so glad I chose a Dillon.
