New Daddy

I called Dillon this week - of course, no problems and a new one is on the way. They told me to just toss the old one.

SeaTact? If that's your location, we may really be neighbors!

I know. It never occurred to me that the plate would be mismarked.

Crushed - big indentation in the middle. Center popped out. How bad depends on when I realized I wasn't seating the primer. I went through all the steps and checks before I discovered the mismarked plate.

Greetings! I've been reloading for about two years. I've loaded about 5K rounds of .45 without too many problems and recently decided to switch to 9mm. As part of my switchover, I swapped out the primer assembly parts (complete new assembly, purchased from Brian). After setting up the machine, I noticed that I could only load 10-12 rounds before I'd crush primers. I'd tear the machine down and check everything - referring to the messages here concerning crushed primers. Same thing - load 10-12 round and then crushed primers. Out of options, I checking the machine alignment and noticed a lot of play between the Rotary Primer Disk (RPD) and the primer. I checked and the RPD is clearly marked S. However, I pulled my large RPD and lined the two of them up. Sure enough, they were the same except for the S and L markings. Fortunately, I had a small RPD from my original machine purchase and once installed it solved the problem. I know that Dillon is a top notch company and errors occur. I also know that if I call, they'll ship out a replacement RPD with no questions. My question is this: Has this ever happened to anyone before? Thanks, ND

Greetings! Bought my first reloader from Brian about 2 years ago. Been lurking since then and finally decided to register. ND
