Idoktr Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Reset the press for 40 and sometimes the powder drop funnel lines up perfectly and sometimes it creases the brass. Everything looks good as far as centering in the powder drop/primer station and all other stations are fine. Could the powder drop funnel be off? Any other ideas? First problem with 650 .........Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First problem with 650 .........Thanks could be a lot of different things. Is primer punch centered in hole? 100% sure the right locator pins are installed? Is shell plate tight enough?

Locator pins are correct and the shell plate height is good...........going to play with shell plate tightness tomorrow.............but problem is inconsistency........

Sarge Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 And if it's hit or miss check to see if any build up is in the shell plate where the rounds slide in to. Might be a piece of media of just gunk that keeps the odd round from going all the way in every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGOTGLOCKED Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Perhaps an occasional inconsistent stroke..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwikel Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I know this is obvious but make sure your index ring is not broken or cracked where the shell plate does not fully index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
