Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Called Dillon and the service rep told me to take a small pin punch and after removing the primer plate to tap the magazine out from the bottom, then he said to look around for any burs or bad spots around the housing or shield and don't be afraid to file it out ... also said he was sending me a new magazine because more than likely it was done during assembly at Dillon and the brass end is scarred up. I tapped the large primer magazine out from the bottom and it actually came out very easily.... The culprit seems to be either glue or maybe tape residue on the brass end, even after cleaning it up it still has just enough of a coating that it will not slide in and out of the shield and housing without force and then I still had to lightly tap it out from the bottom with the punch. The tape or glue was the only issue and no burs or bad spots on either the housing or shield. Easy fix!
  2. Thanks Arlin, thats exactly what I thought but it's definitely shoved down in there tight. There's a Dillon dealer about 45 minutes away from me so my wife is going to run the primer assembly by them tomorrow to see what they think, hopefully it won't be something that needs to be replaced and another long wait for parts and pieces from Dillon. Got a bunch of .45 autos loaded up and I was really hoping to load some 9mm this week!
  3. A couple of weeks ago I had made a post regarding the primer magazine being stuck inside of the magazine shield and thought that whenever I changed from the shipped and installed large primer system to the small primer system (which I am now doing) I would have been able to get the magazine unstuck once I disassembled the primer system but the little allen set screw on the bottom of the primer body/magazine shield only holds the shield in place. So my question is.. Is there any way to get the primer magazine unstuck without having to put a pair of pliers on it and forcing it out? I did use a pair of pliers on it whenever I first received the press but I didn't want to force anything and didn't pull or ply up with the pliers very much. Am I right in assuming the brass end on the magazine may have been shoved into the magazine tube/shield during the manufacturing process and am I correct believing that the primer magazines should pull right out of the shield very easily with my fingers? I'll give Dillon a shout tomorrow but thought I'd throw it by you guys here to see if there were any immediate responses. Thanks
  4. Hi y'all, I just assembled and calibrated my new XL650 today and noticed the large primer magazine that came with the press (setup for .45) seems to be stuck inside of the primer shield. I cannot get the magazine out with my fingers and very gently tried using a pair of plyers but it will not come out, I'm wondering if this might be an issue or will I be able to remove the magazine whenever I change over for small primers? Edited .... After readinf further into the manual it does look like the primer shield gets disassembled for switching from large to small primers so I am assuming the magazine will come out at that point anyway. Probably should not be an issue.
  5. Nice to see some fellow Floridians, thanks for the welcome! For the time being I'll be spending the majority of my time in the reloading forums, I'm just learning the craft and it really seems like there is a ton of useful information over there.
  6. Awesome forum, looks like you folks are a cool and helpful crowd to be around ... I'm really looking foreward to hanging out with y'all! Rick, 55 years old.
  7. I ordered all of my XL650 setup around mid March (2013) ... everything kinda trickled in since with the dies hitting my doorstep early last week (5/5 ish) and to the world according of FedEx tracking my last item will be on my doorstep this Saturday, May 18th 2013. And that last item is the XL650 press itself. .380 auto, 9mm, .40 and .45.
