  1. I've not had any problems with the priming system in at least a year.
  2. Got both the case feed fix and the primer drop the other day. Finally able to use both today. Loaded 200 rounds with no problems. The flipped case problem was completely solved. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas.
  3. is the proper of your breast-feed her securely fastened to something? I had the same problem, but after reading this forum, screwed the support of the brass feeder to the nearest wall, which made things a lot better.
  4. I've replaced my spring twice, once when it broke, jamming the tool head, and once when it wouldn't keep the tool head all the way up. The first spring also did that, but I wasn't smart enough to see it, since it came on gradually. In 4 or 5 years, I've reloaded a little more than 180,000 rounds.
  5. I've used 20,000 wolf primers in a 45acp. The tubes are loaded with the RF100 without any problems caused by the primers themselves. The manufacturer keeps the boxes of 100 closed with scotch tape. If a piece of tape gets on the primer it will jam going into the tube, or if small enough jam in the tube. So be careful how you deal with the tape. There have a few out of the 20,000 that didn't go off, but not enough to get excited about. I like them.
  6. I have a Dillon super 1050 with which I've loaded 140,000 rounds plus of 45acp in the last 3 to 4 years. In the last six months the powder measure started to dump Clays very inconsistently, which it didn't prior to that time. Anywhere from 4 or 5 round per hundred would be undercharged with powder so that firing the round wouldn't fully cycle the slide and the bullet impact at 50 yards was about a foot too low. Around the same time, the operating handle stopped returning to the full upright position, but was ignored as I figured what difference does that make? A few weeks ago, the handle completely jammed when one broken end of the tool head return spring telescoped inside the other, jamming it in the spring tube. After a certain amount of flailing around the problem was spotted and the spring replaced, thankfully a spare was handy. Now the handle stays up by itself, and the magically the powder measure problem with clays went away. Not sure why this happens, but if you powder measure becomes suddenly inconsistent, you might want to check the tool head return spring.
  7. I was having the same problem with my super 1050, sideways, missing, and crushed primers, up to 5 or 6 per 100. Then a friend of mine noticed that some of my primers seemed to be sittine a little high in the case. I adjusted the alignment bar on the tool head that pushes on the rocker arm that pushes in the primer seating rod, and all the primer problems went away. Hope this works for someone else.
