Call Dillon. They should be able to email a drawing of the mounting holes. I had no problems getting mounting bolt hole drawings from Magma for my Star or from Lee for my presses.markthenewf wrote:Anyone have a XL650 with the strong mount set up?

Both of my 650's are on strong mounts, but I'm not sure of your question. Do you want to know the center to center measurements?markthenewf wrote:Anyone have a XL650 with the strong mount set up?

Front to back on each side = 9"markthenewf wrote:Charles,
Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for; side to side and from front to back, thanks.
George had me worried, so I remeasured mine. 11 3/4" is correct on one of my 650s, but 10 1/4" is correct on the other. One bracket/mount is 6 3/4" from the bench to the base of the 650, while the other is about 8 1/2" to the base. Obviously, the one that measures 8 1/2" to the base also has the wider stance, i.e. 11 3/4". I forgot that I had a strong mount for my 550 and I kept it for use on my 2nd 650. I can't remember which 650 has the old strong mount, but obviously they are different heights so their span is different. I'd go with George's figures.george wrote:Front to back, 9 inches, this should be standard, since the holes are in the same piece of metal.
The distance from side to side is only 10.25 inches on mine. Possibly because mine is old.
