FriedCheese Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) I posted this in reply to another guy having the same issue. But figure it will be better as a new one. I called support as I saw it within the first 500 reloads, support guy said he's never heard of the issue and couldn't help. * I have torn apart the case feeder assembly - added a shim in to the tube funnel made from a old pop can, ( it helped a little as I was thinking that the cases were able to tilt as they dropped out of the clear tube to the case / plunger adapter ( green funnel). * I have also noticed I wasn't having the issue at all when I had only no more than ten cases putting pressure from the top. Which means I have to constantly power ON / OFF the case feeder hopper to keep the the press fed. I have pictures of what you are seeing too. VIDEO Clip of it happening Any help on this would be great! Edited January 6, 2017 by FriedCheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henny Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 This happened to me before and there were two different causes. The first time it happened there was tumbling media down in the casefeed plunger. It was a simple fix, I just cleaned it out and reassembled. Things were good to go. The other time the locator tab bolt ( PN/ 13333) was slightly bent. I ordered some from McMaster Carr and I was back in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraj Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Mine did that. Took it apart, cleaned it re grease the sides and bottom and it's been good ever since. It was worse when I got a 380 in the stack of cases for some reason I only have 5k through mine new when I had to do it Edited January 6, 2017 by Kraj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dchassejr Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I've been having the same issue. I've read on another forum some guys using a cut down 1911 recoil spring instead of the stock spring that runs the plunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That is exactly what mine is doing. I post what I did for it here <-- Linky Not sure this has fixed it yet, but it does seem better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
