The Dillon 650 does have 'calibre' specific' locator pins (Part #11) which will line the case up with the generic top plate die axes. There's no other reason why they would have different pins for different calibres. The Lee Loadmaster does not however. 650 Parts list here;

My pins are for 9mm and I see they are stamped '3').

Thanks for setting me straight Centrefire.

The locating buttons just keep the brass from falling out. You can run the press without them if you're not too rough.
ETA: To clarify, the button keeps the brass aligned in the shell at the die station once you're running full speed. There are breaks in the ram face so brass can be removed or inserted, the buttons keep the brass from coming out. Runout in rifle brass on a Dillon 550 or 650 is normally caused by tightening the die lock rings without a piece of brass in each station.
