I didn't know grease guns like that were manufactured. I just looked on Amazon and there are several. I'll get one of those.

Are you able to feel the grease going in? I know that's a funny question, but when I try the grease syringe that comes with the Dillon maintenance kit, nothing happens. I can't even move the plunger a slight amount.

Thanks for the tip!
Chas.

I stumbled across this by accident. It is a small grease gun and you apply the pressure with the palm of your hand so you will feel a small amount of movement. I use John Deere Polyurea grease which is the same as I use on my tractors & dozers not that it makes any difference, but it is a high quality grease. The syringe doesn't allow you to do anything so I ditched mine when I discovered I could use my chain saw grease gun.
Hope it works for you..

Re: Dillon XL650 Maintenance

Yes a needle type tip but not that long. The whole thing fits in your hand with a hand plunger. There was one shown below the picture of the tip you posted.

I have 2 - 650's and a 550. All three of them were made prior to the change to grease fittings. What I did was to use a small grease gun that is made for greasing a chain saw bar. Works for me and saved me a lot of time. I use a high quality grease to insure it stays where it's placed.
