1050 Primer system problem


Recommended Posts

My 1050 suddenly started skipping primers. It seem like the primers no longer freely drop into the slide. If you apply some pressure to the rod, you feel some resistance, then it breaks and the primer goes into its hole in the slide.

I took it apart, and cleaned, nothing wrong noticed. I replaced the blue plastic tip to the primer tube - but it still does it. If you just let it run on its own, the primers don's feed.

What would cause that resistance? The rubber tube broke, and I replaced it.

Could that be some burr on the slide primer hole? What else to look at?

Do you have any weight on the top of the plastic Rod? If not put a ~200 grain weight on it. I have seed 45 ACP Cases, 45/40 cal projectiles. Essentially when you get down to less than 25 primers the weight isn't enough to keep the primers moving through the tip as they should.

HTH.

Yes, there's a .45 case on top, with a 160gr bullet inside.

The press has been very reliable for many thousands of rounds, but suddenly that problem developed last night.

A I started looking for it, I found the rubber piece on the bench, it was split, so I replaced it. I suspect the split is related to the new problem in some way, but I can't yet figure out how.
