DO NOT shoot high primers in ANY gun. BOOM possible or will lock the gun up.!!

thanks would it be the same by tightening the x bolts.??

I put a little bend in the bottom 1/4 in of the case feed shut off switch bar. Worked great. Bent it DOWN to the right. Lets it go up a little farther but does not hang up on the feed tube. I also put a big champher on the top INSIDE of the tube.

What model do you have.?

What model do you have.?

Changed tool heads 7 time this last week. All are the same. Changed platform twice SAME.

No slop

My open end fits right in

If anyone has had this problem please holler. If you will look at the Picture to the left I am having problems getting MY Dillon to line up with the cases. I have spent 20 hours checking and re checking. I had the local pro stop over and he just scratched his head. I have changed every part and timed the machine every time. This is happening on ALL cal. we have used. Could you guys look at your press when loading, check station 2 powder/flaring action. Just as the cases come into contact with the flare tool there is a miss alignment on MINE. Would just love some feed back on if your cases tilt to the left as the tool goes into case. I found a way to solve this problem but Dillon is focused on the alignment tool and not the problem/solution . They think it is an alignment problem and it is NOT. Their tool only adjusts Orientation of the platform and the tool head. After doing the (alignment) with their tool 20 times with all my cal.s I find that if I take out the front Tool head pin and push the thing in .019" all is good. BUT with the tool head pushed over I can not get their ALIGNMENT TOOL TO WORK.???????? I am just putting a C clamp on the toolhead and life is GOOD. Thanks for any Ideas Thanks for checking you machines. PS I love Dillon and all but 1 guy there. Bless N zzzzzz

You can HAND prime your cases and take out the DEprimer. EASY to do and I buy some primed cases and it is GREAT. Check that there are no spent or live primers under your platform as this will make things tough to prime on the up stroke. These machines are wonderful and there are little things that we wish were different BUTT here we are. I have had spent primers build up under my press for reasons I can not explain. With the primer assy. off you can get right in there and CLEAN the spent primer shout. On the # 2 check for deformation on the little red liner for the case feed and the Big plastic tube adapter. Remove SAME and check for ease of movement in these and you could do a test and don't load just rune a few thru watching the operation of each item mentioned. Do you have your cam on the case feed turned to the STEEP (pistol )to the left facing the machine and case inserter/dropper.?? Shooting in the dark but you could just for a minute fill the tube and with the handle UP just use your thumb empty the cases into your left hand. that will give you a chance to watch the transition from tube to plate with out getting tangled up. Single operation observations will tell you more than when loading in most cases. Bless Nzzzzzzz

I use win, primers ONLY and they works great. A buddy used the loader for his 38 super and he put CCI s in and you could not even feel them seat. Was so smooth. You could call Dillon and they will give you an alignment tool FREE. Check the size of seater you are using and check the timeing, AND just look and see if the primer seater is aligned with the shell plate . Blessings

ARE there any primers stuck in the discharge port or tray under the platform. Something is stopping the press from going all the way down. This will cause some people to over tighten the powder return rod spring. This is what you received in reply before. Blessings

Sounds like there is something under your Platform not allowing it to go all the way down. ARE you using the proper size of primer inserter LG/ SMALL .??? Have you changed brands of primers just to see what happens.??? High primers is one of the MOST dangerous things you can have. This can cause the cartraige to go off before the bolt is closed and a shell going off when not in battery is,,, BLINDING for you and others. High primers in a revolver can LOCK the gun and you will not be able to get it open. You should be checking ALL you loads before using them. Danger Danger DANGER

First of all the spring is easy to put on and take off. Get some heave thread and put thru the end or in the coils of the spring and hook it on the front pin and with the thread wrapped around the main shaft gentley pull around and put on back pin. This is in the BOOK they gave you. Second if you are changing the primer insert punch large or small STOP and get the proper tap that fits and chase the threads in the platform. REALLY makes it nice. You will be able to use your fingers to change the item. REALLY, just go buy an old 9/16 inch open end wrench and thin (grind ) the edges and it will give you more room to use it.
