Thanks for your help guys. I will order me some new tips and find me a rod to use for a follower. I almost had a food excuse to buy a 550:) but lets see if I can get this one going thanks again. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I These are the pics of the tunes and ends I have. And a picture of the primer mechanism. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I may but its the only tip with a slot that fits in the magazine? One large and one small. I am thinking of buying the upgrade or just a 550. I wil try the other tips and see what happens. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

The more I think about it I may just spring for the auto primer upgrade. I think it will solve my promblems. Other than the primer system it works great. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Larry, does that end not have to fit down into the notch? In the bottom of the magazine? There should be a tube for small and large that are longer that load into the magazine correct? My pick up tubes ends are just round with clips in one end. These tubes are longer with no holes for clips. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

This one has the slot. I will get more pictures. I also have another base that does have a rubber grommet on the inside. Thats why I am thinking he upgraded it to this newer style. This machine hasn't been used since he died in 1989. I am using the one with the slot now. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I even thought about adding a follower down the tube. Not sure if this would damage primers though Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Thanks I will get some pics tonight and get them uploaded. He died when I was 9 I am 34 now so just trying to get things up and running the right way. Almost ready to buy a 650lol. But thanks pics on the way tonight Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I have a 450 that was left to me by my late father. I am having a hard time getting my primer slide to work. I have the upgrades slide with the notch for the follower like on a 550. I know there are two different aluminum tubes that go in the primer magazine one for small and one for large primers. I cant get the primers to come out of the tube. I am at my wits end with this. The press has some of the 550 upgrades. It has the indexing and apparently an upgraded primer magazine. The tips on the rod look good that go into the magazine. Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
