Putty Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have recurring problems on my super 1050 loading .223, specifically primer seating. Thought it might be a combination of mil crimped brass and some worn out parts. Uniformed all the primer pockets on the brass and changed out all the parts on the 1050. Still getting smeared seating or sideways primers in the primer slide. Made the table rigid to eliminate smearing and finnally inspected primer punch. It was bent so I replaced it. Now I have even worse problems with every other primer falling sideways into primer slide. Primer tube nip is new as well. Is my primer slide bunged and need to be replaced or is it that CCI makes primers slightly out of spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Check the rubber tube in the back of the primer slide. I can get deformed/damaged/elongated, etc., and gum up the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Even though you have just replaced the primer tube nipple I would try another replacement before I did anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 The 1/8" rubber tube on the slide was replaced as well. nip replaced again. Still getting sideways. Shim the primer slide stop?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Another thing to look at, check the distance between the white triangle 'thingy' and the case. I was having problems with seating once, Dillon told me to make the distance, the thickness of a business card. Cases were not in their correct position, as they came up, they hit an edge too early and flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I set the white plastic shim to just touch the case This little gizmo is critical...you may have to experiment Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Check for trash impeding/holding the primer slide from full travel....? I have had a spent primer somehow get wedged in the primer slide channel and make the stroke "just a hair" to short.... I adjust the little plastic triangle "gizmo" to touch the brass when it comes into position over the primer loader punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Double checked everything looks good. The swing arm that activates the primer slide needed to be aligned. Did this by loosening then rotating toolhead counterclockwise then retightening. Same deal. <Argh> I separated the crimped brass (that was uniformed) from the uncrimped. All uncrimped brass ran through it like a champ. I figure not matter what you do to crimped brass like reaming and uniforming, I will have probs. I can see little ringlets of brass from bad seated primers. I know Dan Seripina has a counter sink doohickie that takes out the flange entirely on the primer pocket rim. Cant find a manufacturer that makes one of those. Tossing all the Lake City brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Did you cut (section) a piece of the LC brass and then adjust your swage setting? Lake City is good stuff. Don't toss it - Sell it. But wasn't that for a 650 and the question is for a 1050? Alan Woops... Edited January 31, 2010 by Merlin Orr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yes I did. Cut in half with dremel. Swageing, reaming and uniforming dont seem to work. Dan uses a 60 degree countersink to take out the flange or crimp lip that is usually left over. I think the CCI primers may be a source of the fits and this may fix it.

DougCarden Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I had similar problems with Wolf primers, and didnt have the swage rod adjusted correctly. I would find some of the offending brass and increase the swage until you have primers fit better. Just something to try. Once I got it adjusted (LC brass as well....) I was very happy. Keep at it, and good luck! DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Prob is i have 100k CCI primers. Work good in pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Make sure you use a case cut in half when adjusting the swager, and go easy on the adjustments. Too much swage, and you'll crack a shellplate or two..... Don't ask me how I learned that lesson..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
