9mm tipping over

[GregInAtl]

I've noticed that when I am loading 9mm in my 550b that often times when the operating handle reaches the top of the stroke, the case that is in the first station will tip over, sometimes falling all the way out of the station. I regularly have to nudge it back into place with my thumb. I don't seem to have this problem with 45acp, the other caliber that I load. Anybody else have this problem?

Your 13926 is awfully strange looking there. Are you using some kind of aftermarket replacement...and is it out of adjustment?

[ZackJones]

Agreed. Your 13926 needs to be adjusted. And for those of you that don't know what a 13926 is that is the Dillon cartridge retaining spring. It's not adjusted properly in the photo.

Thanks for the tip I'll check it out

It should look something like this with the curved tip of the wire just barely touching the case, just barely.

It's hard to tell from his picture, but maybe it's way too far in, is getting caught by the shell plate, and is unable to do its job?

bowenbuilt, yours looks like you bent it up to avoid that problem? Mine sits against the ramp/funnel (the manual is upstairs, so I can't look up the part name/number).
