chuffysplace Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 On a 650, is there an easier way to remove and replace the primer punch... Such as when you change from small to large primers? I usually use an open-ended wrench but it takes some time to do so and if you're not careful you could mar the end of the punch. Just wondering if there's an easier way to do this.

I also had to chase the threads of the primer seater hole with a tap to remove some galling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuffysplace Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Great tip. I never thought of doing that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbrumm Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This is a costly solution, but ran across it the other day and thought it was pretty cool. https://lvl10i.com/collections/all-products/products/650xl-primer-assembly-removal-install-socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodell Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Never saw that before. That's exactly what I have been thinking about making. I was doing a bunch of loading last weekend and had to change it three times (I didn't plan as well as I could have but loading went better than expected so I went in priority order!) and cursed it every time.

Just wondering if there's an easier way to do this. Great tips, I have only run small pistol primers in my 650 since I load .45 and 10MM cases on my 550. I did not realize it was such a pain to remove the primer punch on the 650 but I was thinking about shifting the .45 over to the 650 to run a bunch through there, I might not now.

cvincent Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I don't find it to be an issue. Spin it in by hand. Open end 9/16", snug it down. Takes like 10 seconds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
