I have/had the level 10 kit.
I took it out, it caused the eject wire to constantly ride up and the cases get bound up. A little spill is easier to manage than every 4-5 cases stopping the press. |

I have the level 10 and never had any issues.
That said i never had any issues before either, I just bought it to try it since it was inexpensive. I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference in operation, but maybe I just didn't use loads that were fluffy enough to take up enough space to be at risk of spilling. |

I have both. I left off the bottom plate on the level 10, which seems to solve most the ejection wire issues.
Uniquetek lets it slide right down, if I ever get another, I'll probably put the Uniquetek bearing on it. |

I have them both. I got the Shell plate bearing kit individually from Grainger, I believe. I did buy and use t another similar oil impregnated bearing that Uniquetek sells I went back to the washer and bearing system. Just liked it better, thought it was smoother. I did have to modify the ejector wire with the washer bearing system.

Here is the better question, and what problem is the bearing kit solving in the first place?
Case powder spill problem is solved by the mylar ball/spring mod so the shell plate is not snapping over the last of the way, and if you have the plate/center bolt greased and set correctly, not a problem in the first place. |

Quote HistoryYour link doesn't work, but I know what the parts are. I have them, they're cool. Just like all the other "upgrades", they help, but it's not night and day.
A smooth pull does more than any bearing can, and a little spill won't kill ya. |

I've never seen the need for this upgrade. Tuning and lubing my 650's work well without the "snap".

I have tried a bearing kit or two, but as someone else mentioned, it messed with the cartridge eject spring (even though I tried rebending it to work better as I saw from a YT video).
I have stopped using any of them, but I do use the low-mass detent ball and shortened spring. I only had problems with powder spill on 9mm rounds. Larger rounds (such as .40, .45) don't seem to have the same problem with spillage. I don't do rifle rounds on the XL650, so I can't comment there. |
