PSSOH22 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hey guys! I tried searching for previous threads as I'm sure this has came up before but my google skills must be lacking... I loaded up about 1000 rounds today and I would say I wasted about 100 primers with them going sideways into the case. Primers we're win sr, problematic brass was almost all federal, but some wolf and lake city. I talked to a friend who said that the swager may need set deeper from what dillon set it at. Any other tips or tricks yall have found. It probably took damn near 3 hrs to do 1k as I lost almost all faith and was checking almost every case!!

RayBar Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'd have that problem when my shell plate is too tight. Winchester primers aren't the most consistent, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Replace your two springs on the primer slide assy. Check your rubber bushing for rubbing in the channel and slowing it down. Clean it all up. Replace your blue primer tip on the primer tube. That should take care of it..... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastly Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Slow down the stroke a notch. Give the primer time to fall into the hole on the primer plate. With the Mr. Bullet Feeder I find that 100 in a little less than 4 minutes is as fast as I can go before I start having primer issues. Use a phone app metronome if necessary for a little while to get into a smooth consistent rhythm without trying to vary the speed of the stroke. I find 1050 productivity over many 100 cartridge runs has little to do with maximum stroke speed and everything to do with avoiding failures. Make sure there are no burrs on the blue tip on the primer feed tube; replace as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSSOH22 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I will check out these things.... There is only about 5k through the machine if that helps. I did talk to a friend that recommended swaging deeper as he found that it was not set up properly from Dillon. In response to the post though, I am going extremely slow while loading. Not saying what you mentioned isn't right, I'm just saying I definitely was not trying to go fast lol. Also I have heard and seen a lot of inconsistencies with Winchester as well. But its just what I have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If you simply cycle primers through the machine, are they feeding correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
