rminut Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have loaded on Dillon's for 15 years but never large rifle primers (.308). I noticed that only 87 primers fit in the pickup tube to load the press? Is this common? silly question but I'm just making sure I don't have a problem. thanks.

Youngeyes Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Welcome to the Forums. This is Brian's Forums. No questions are silly. Maybe some of the answers. I'd try a different tube. A CCI small rifle primer has a cup height of .109". The CCI large rifle primer is .118. 13 large rifle primers would equal a difference in primer tube height of .117". I know 100 small rifle primers fit. I can't see that .1" would be enough to overflow the tube. That's about 2.5 mm. See chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Large rifle primers are about .010" taller than other primers. But this translates into about 97 primers into the tube instead of 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
