That was the issue die full of bullets.

Good advice. And you know, I think the tube is full of bullets. This may be a reason. I’ll check when I get back home.

Haha. Yes. I click on the knob and it’s dead quiet.

My MBF is properly connected, but won’t start. I just moved houses and not sure if something got banged up or loose. Any ideas? Anyone has gone through this?

Please close this thread.

Thanks all. I manually pulled the belt forwards and back a few times, then ran the calibration a few times and back to new. Issue solved. Thanks again, HOGRIDER

You mean like neutral and pulling the belt manually?

In my case I have an auto drive and I think the torque in it forces the plate to move forward. Not sure on yours….

I have a Dillon 1100 with Mark 7. When it indexes it is short of the stop and then it jolts to the final position. This causes major spills. You know…. I’ve tried adjusting the shell plate tightness, the adjustment screw in the back but nothing. Am I missing something? See the link. When it calibrates, it indexes perfectly.

The main Thing an 1100 needs, it’s a camera under the powder station to see if there is a primer before the powder throw. The reason for this is that on the 1100 you don’t get that extra push feel when a primer is inserted so you don’t know for sure.

I have the auto drive for the 1100. Is there a way to use the same auto drive but on the 750?

10 Popple holes seems too much. Seems like No amount of powder could work that comp.

absolutely. Lost a few points on PF. Had to increase load

That load is a bit hotter than what I shot, and I thought mine was flat shooting. 9.8 gr AA7, 1.165”, 11 lb spring, with the Berry hollow base round nose (thick plate) 115gr.
This load you mentioned was great for me too. BUt it was just under PF for major

Prawls are damaged when the press tries to force the indexing. Most of the time its one of 3 things...
1 - Case exiting the shell plate is getting hung up on the ejector tab.
2 - Case entering the shell plate gets hung up.
3 - Messed up primer on insertion dragging on the frame.
Usually, it takes quite a few of each of these to really damage a prawl.
For what its worst... most of my prawls look worse than what you have shown above and I don't get spillage loading 9 major at 1800/hr. Something else might be a little messed up internally with your indexing system.
Oh man don't even say that!!!

Well, seems so far the issue was the worn out pawl. But what you speak of is important. I adjusted mines early in the installation process. Thanks
-
Thanks. I have something similar from FW arms.
-
I’ve done it to other presses and seems to work fine. Less click on every detent.

The locating and ball can also make things shake/jiggle. I trim the spring back a little bit to make the shellplate have less "snap" when going into place.
The case ejector could also need adjusting.
Makes sense…

Yeah. Totally agree. Seems like using the mark 7 and hitting the calibrate button really puts a dent
1100 indexing problems.

Wow, sorry for not replying before. My issue got fixed by setting the press in neutral and manually moving the belt back and forth until it would stop. This might have done something simple to fix the issue but I dont understand it.
