Jac25

DonT i did mis spell the OAL it should be 1.125. I have detailed striped the pistol i will check the slide stop spring when i get chance. Thanks for the help.

I loaded up for my first time .40 Cal 165 JHP with 4.7 grains of titegroup with an oal of 1.025 which, is what the hodgdon website recommends. My Glock 22 would not feed the rounds into the chamber. When I fired a round the slide would lock itself to rear and I had to manually depress the slide top in order to feed the next round. I believe the problem has something to do with the OAL of the cartridge but I am not sure. I would randomly check the rounds and there was some variation they were 1.024, 1.026, or, 1.027. I looked at the hodgdon website to see if 1.025 was the minimum or maximum length but I could not find an answer. I have Dillon carbide dies and the brass is once fired Glock brass. I didn’t have problem with the rounds going into battery they all fired so I believe that my crimp is good. Not sure what my next should what my course of action suggestion would be much appreciated.

I bought 165 gr JHP at the gun show not sure what brand they are. I have some Unique powder but i haven't been able to find any loads in my books for it. Some help would be appreciated.

I called Dillon and they sent me a prime slide and a couple of plastic tips which, took care of all my problems. Thanks to everyone who took time to answer my questions.

Are the primers supposed to land on the primer feed stop pin (14051)? The primers are free falling out of the magazine when i take out of the machine. When the magazine is in the machine i can see the tip of the magazine and the primer. When i pushed down on the primer feed stop pin (14051) nothing happens. If someone could explain how the system? What i can't comprehend is how the primer falls into the cup. Does the primer feed stop pin(14051) cause the primer to fall?

I know the topic has been discussed before but i didn't find the answer I was looking for. I bought a used RL 550 and the Automatic Primer System is not working. I am not sure how the system works. The Primer slide (13920) moves into the primer housing and shield (20263) this in turn pushes out the primer feed stop pin (14051) which causes the magazine to release a primer into the primer cup (13825) is this correct? Well on my machine when the the Primer slide (13920) moves into the primer housing and shield (20263) it looks like there is large gap between the primer cup(13825) and the magazine. The Primer slide (13920) does make contact with primer feed stop pin (14051) and pushes it out but the primer does not fall. I checked the primer feed stop spring (13979) and its tight. In addition, I checked the measurement on the primer cup (13825) and its a bit bigger than spec Dillon calls for (1.215-1.220) mine it at 1.225. I also checked that the primer magazine was inserted correctly I know the tab is supposed seat inside key which, it is. Not sure where to go from here and some help would be much appreciated.
