jmorris Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Comes up from time to time as problems when setting up/adjusting. If you want to stop the flow of the case feed and primer feed you need a coat hanger and something to bend and cut it. For the case feed you need to form it like this. (Parts removed so I could take photos) And install it like this. For the primer feed you need to form it like this. And install it like this. For primers you can also just use a ziptie in a loop over the failsafe rod bracket to hold the primer index arm back but everyone has a wire hanger in there house, unless their mom is "Mommy dearest".

echotango Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Nice. For the case feeder I use a 9mm case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Nice. For the case feeder I use a 9mm case. Yep, that is even easier. Although a 9mm case wouldn't fit in mine but a .223 case would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks for the post. I printed out your pictures and will be making both adapters. Little things sure do help the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henny Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 To stop the primer feed, it's pretty easy to take off the primer cam. It's only one screw to remove that's easily accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Great ideas! I end up just letting the primers fall threw and making a mess. Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely get those made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aceyduce Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) For the case feeder I just use the wire tie off a bread bag. Feed through the two holes and you're done!

SCC Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 To stop the primer feed, I remove the Primer Cam. It's the black plastic ramp that pushes the Primer Indexing Arm. I replaced the hex socket screw holding it on with a length of threaded rod, loctited into the frame. Vinyl tubing over the rod creates a friction fit with the Primer Cam. I had to wrap some thin copper wire around the rod to expand the vinyl a bit to get a proper fit. The cam can now just be pulled off when I want to stop the primers.

RPatton Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 To stop the primer feed I was using a Hornady .224 75grain BTHP bullet and just dropping it in the primer feed disk. I finally went to a piece of brass rod that I turned down on one end to fit the hole. Easily installed and removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggerJJ Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 even easier, just remove the primer cam return spring... jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPatton Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Easier still to NOT remove anything and just pull the Primer Indexing Arm as far as it will go then drop something in the next hole on the Rotary Disk to keep the Arm from returning and the disk will no longer rotate.

RichJacot Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I just lift the arm and put a narrow piece of sheet metal under it, in where the wave washer is. That way it doesn't index the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutist Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice. For the case feeder I use a 9mm case. Yep, that is even easier. Although a 9mm case wouldn't fit in mine but a .223 case would. Been setting up my 650XL .... .223 case works PERFECT and it's easy to take in and out. To stop the primer feed, it's pretty easy to take off the primer cam. It's only one screw to remove that's easily accessible. This works great... Takes a bit to unscrew it. I'll try to make one of the hanger clips next.

Youngeyes Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I used a quarter. Dremeled down the edges and drilled a hole and bent at 90 degrees. Keeps the arm from dropping in the plate to advance the primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chutist Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) i'll use a washer if I try it, no need to trouble the SS. For the primer feed, I'm a little concerned about jamming something under the arm...afraid I'll bend something. The wire retaining "clip" looks like the winner, long term. But pulling the cam is pretty easy. The 223 case for the case feed is a clear winner. Edited February 28, 2016 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
