abysmal Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 OK Guys, need some sage advice. I think I am too deep in the forest and can't see the trees anymore. My Super 1050 just recently started dropping primers. This afternoon I loaded 500rds of .223 and there were 125 primers beneath the reloader when I was done. They were in perfect condition. No Jams, No mechanical problems. Its just DUMPING primers. This has to be something really simple and I am looking right at it and just not seeing it. SUGGESTIONS?

sauza45 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Check and make sure everything is clean. Check the blue tip on the end of the primer tube inside where you fill the loader and also check the hose on the primer slide. when I start have dropped primers this usually fixes it.

jmorris Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yep, I'd bet money its the plastic tip (either blue or red) on the primer tube. They use them on the SD, 550 and 1050 and if you have primer issues they are generally the cause. I have heard some folks clame the brass end that is used on 650 primer tubes (that I have never had a problem with) but I have never lit off a primer in a reloading machine and Dillon sends me new ones for free. I figured if they thought it was a good idea they would send them all with brass from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abysmal Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Bingo! The blue tip had opened up wide and letting the primers flow right out. Many thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyDog Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This happen to me and they started filling up in pin guide hole right after the swagger. I still have no idea how, my only guess is the bolt that locks in the primer slide was loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread1911 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I have had the same problem with the blue and red ones. I think the older black ones were a bit harder. Or perhaps they are just older and harder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
