Welcome to the forums...

Failure to feed,the slide velocity is affecting the timing of the operation and failure to eject, the brass isn't leaving the pistol quick enough due to a slower slide which then on its return catches the brass..this is a service pistol,.not a tuned race gun so its feeding requires a solid grip for the pistol to function properly. you have to provide a solid platform so the slide can,well....slide. All the recoil energy from the round is used to cycle the slide and feed another round If the frame is allowed to move the slide and frame move as 1 unit the energy is used to move the whole pistol and there is not enough energy left when the slide starts moving on its own try this,... take pistol in hand,.. holding frame firmly now (without ammo )go through the motions of load and make ready using the same force to rack the slide.....repeat but this time loosen your wrist so the pistol kind of flops around should take more force to manipulate the slide...takes longer and requires more force... it is also a timing thing,.. you have about 1/10th. of a second of recoil impulse to get this maneuver completed make it harder, or take longer and your semi-auto becomes a hand operated firearm.. also check to see she is holding high enough up on the grip, higher on grip will help cycling as its a leverage thing... Hope this helps John P.S. how does she handle the Beretta ? cocking the hammer first may make it easier for her to work the slide,and if the Beretta is more "forgiving" may be better for her to shoot, less malfunctions = more fun My brother, back when he was 13 had these problems too we thought it was the pistol,..then Dad or I would run it and ..worked fine..he can still clear a malfunction faster than I can +2 awsome advise

Yes tool head is in snugg, and toolhead is clean. Lube the bolt/shellplate interface. Tighten the bolt as tight as possible but still allow it to rotate. Mine always got too snug when I snugged the set screw. So I leave the wrench in the bolt on the shellplate and just move it a little at a time till it's snug as possible but still smooth (after snugging down the set screw). The parts wear in and smooth out a lot on a new press. As time goes on you will do this adjustment a lot ess. @98,I will try lubing plate/bolt interfaceand tightening the bolt see what happens took a brake I was gettin fustrated!

this also just started happening to me, i tried to adjst my shellpate tighter where there is verry lttle play but it also feels like my manual index seems a littl snugg is that normal anyone? using RL550B .40 cal brass, i can see the powder funel hitting the edge uf my casings. i just had converted calibers im not sure if my press is off allignment, i doubt it!!! i ran a search and its got me here. i dont mean to take over anyones post.

I forgot to mention the movie (550) is good, sometimes I pop popcorn and have a movie night with the kid's they also like it we watch it over and over.

welcome to the forums great place for info..

Welcome to the forums..

I got both I use the beam as a back up but it's slow but will do the job, my digital gives me a faster reading from other post scale's do go bad if not properly taking care of

I wouldn't do it but that's me! I would let them use my press but make em buy the supplies in bulk and make my ammo with the supplies they bought Study the laws before you do decide yo don't wonna get yourself in a mess, be safe

I use Calipers and case gauge, I make 10 dummy rounds (no powder no primers) check to se if they fit in my mag s, rack em through my weapons (WITH NO FIRING PIN)! Using the same brass no mix brass and it should be just about perfect.. Good luck.

That is what I got it works great eventually I did get a media separator cause the media corn & walnut gets caught up in the primer flash hole sometimes and I use to have to tap it on the colander to get any media out my brass. As for walnut it does clean better then corncob but corn cob makes my brass shine almost like new juts will take longer if you don't use walnut. I wouldn't use walnut if your nephew will have complications with it, also +1 using fabric softener sheets breathing better yet being exposed to lead can and may cause health problems to you and your nephew and what ever you touch, on a lighter note I am out of brass polisher so I now use Nu Finish car polish good luck and be safe...
