Brass tips https://benstoegerproshop.com/uniquetek-brass-primer-magazine-tube-ends/

I had similar problems with my new 750 a few years ago. I took the primer mount assembly off and the slide and remounted as close to the left as possible and tightened it down. Also bought a brass tip for the magazine assembly. Together they have been almost flawless. The couple times I had an issue since I just retightened the primer mount and it went away.

Looking forward to it!

The last two batches of rule changes have made it much more difficult to efficiently and cost effectively put on a good club match IMO. Also the change where you can’t require a non shooting action has eliminated a lot of fun stage options. We have to get really creative and/or limit movement with fault lines or tons of barrels in order to block people from going around walls on what is meant to be out of bounds and gaming the stages. I have seen stage designers create some cool stages and someone figures out how to go around things and defeat the whole intent of the “defensive” stage because you have to block every possible avenue now. Even if we decided to invest in more walls it would be a lot of extra work to haul everything down range and set it up for the 4-5 people who help with setup. For a small club (20-25 shooters) it is a PITA.

Adding my experience...started about 5000 rounds in on the press. Primers would not feed without light finger pressure on the feed rod, even with a 45 case. Felt a click each time I would push down. I could see the feed rod drop about half as far as it should. After much fiddling found I could lightly push up on the back of the primer bar and the primer would drop. Fast forward after two calls to Dillon - they suggested moving the priming rod holder a degree counter clockwise and resetting the primer cup assembly by removing and putting a spent primer in the mushing down and retighteninging the plunger to the bar. None of this fixed it alone. Took the assembly off again, disassembled the plunger from the primer bar, cleaned everything with a rag and a qtip for the cup. Tightened the bolts holding the primer bar plate to the press body, all three needed a half to three quarters turn. Reassembled everything, but hand tightened the two thumb screws that hold the primer tube assembly on. Lightly hand tightened the primer knob and now it runs like it should. I think the issue was a combination of the cup being a little to high (manual says 1.38-1.39, mine was 1.388 and was able to get to 1.32), the lower plate being slightly angled (before tightening 3 screws) and over tightening the thumb screws on the bottom and the knob on the tube. Now she is aligned and has just enough play.

No, only poly I have are Pmags. They are in a box on the floor.

I used Harbor Freight magnets for tools with cable ties and large paint sticks. Works great and less than $20!

Harbor Freight has a meat dehydrator for about 20. After wet tumble I put the brass in there to dry. Leave the brass in for a 2-3 hours and it is dry, never had a problem with wet primer pockets. You can dry about 2000 9mm cases in the unit at a time.
