Those fingers that grasp and squeeze around the base of the shell don't resize? No, they are not a sizing ring like on the MEC 600jr, but aren't they supposed to resize the shell base? No problems with anything other than Feds.

Bruce if your reloader has fingers that squeeze the shell like a stand alone Super Sizer you do not have a MEC 650, that would be the MEC Grabber or possibly the more expensive MEC 9000. (The 650, Grabber and 9000 are progressive reloaders) The 650 does not resize, the Grabber and 9000 do. You can adjust those fingers to squeeze a little more tightly and that should solve the issue with the feds.

Underneath the fingers is a lock nut. Loosen it and then turn the finger assembly to tighten or loosen the amount of resizing it applys, I can't recall if you turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to tighten it. I think it's clockwise. Try it and turn it an 1/8 of a turn, you'll feel more resistance if it is applying more pressure to the shell. PS. if not sure call MEC customer service, they are fantastic and they will walk you through it.
