h110 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just cleaned and lubed my 550b. Put it back together using indexing tool, and now the cartridges will not slide into the shell holder slots at station 1,2,3 or 4. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguyn5girls Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Indexing tool? Do you mean alignment tool? If not you need to use the alignment tool.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 You sure the shell plate is not upside down? If it is happening on all 4 stations, the only thing I can think of is the plate upside down, or it is the wrong shell plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h110 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Meant to say alignment tool is what I used, and the no.3 on the shell plate is facing up so it is positioned correctly. Should point out that I'm using a Level 10 Innovations Low mass shell plate bearing kit, with the long bolt, if that makes any difference.

dillon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Remove the aftermarket parts and try it again. Be sure you have a #3 shellplate, #3 locator pins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h110 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 dillon....Removed aftermarket parts. Verified #3 shellplate and pins. Same problem. Tried 45 acp shellplate with factory parts, and aftermarket parts. Worked great. Shellplates ever go bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGA Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Measure the base of your brass, maybe it is out of spec (expanded or too fat rim). Have you reloaded this brass before using this shell plate? Does the brass fit in a regular .223 shell holder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmiya Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Make sure the cartridge spring (paper clip looking thing) isn't interfering with the cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
