GregInAtl Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I have some primers accumulated in the bottom of the magazine shield, What is the best way to get them out. I assume the hex screws (red arrows in picture) can be removed to take it off and get the primers out, right. Any better ideas?

ChuckS Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Turn the bench over and shake it? Or just do what you proposed. You will have to take the shell plate off first since the primer disk is under it. I gotta ask: how did you get primers in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregInAtl Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 I ended up sucking the primers up with my shop vac, holding the nozzle over the top of the tube. Problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icestud Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Do you know why the primers were accumulated in the bottom of the magazine shield? Did I miss what Dillon machine this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Removal of the primer magazine while it has primers in it would be a most probable cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Take your priming system apart and clean it. You’ll be amazed how filthy it is in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved I really hope you are joking. Shop vacs are notorious for static. If you have enough static built up when that primer caps hits the filter and causes a spark, it will ignite. If your sucking up live primers, there is a chance that you are sucking up powder. Powder will sit in the filter of your shop vac. If that primer pops, and you have powder in your filter, you will end up with a fire. Please be safe with primers and powder. You never know what will cause a primer to go off, so its better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I need to do some research on static electricity, I am always cleaning up with a small 2.5HP wet vac and I am sure I have sucked up one or two live primers and a lot of powder, but I clean that thing often. I will not be using it close to my Dillon's from now on. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
