JDIllon Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I just cleaned and relubed the press, also added roller bearing over shell plate and nylon ball along with an aftermarket long press return spring. Love the return spring!! Problem, before the cleaning I had .004 to .005 difference in AOL. Now I have a .014 difference?? I used the recommended space of for under the shell plate. I even tightened it up and it is still a problem?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Are you running the shell plate loaded with all eight rounds ? If you try to run it with fewer rounds in it, you might get larger OAL differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDIllon Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Any idea why? I have been checking them 5 or 6 at a time, so that maybe the problem. I will try a longer run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The shell plate tips a bit if not completely loaded - and that can affect OAL. You don't need longer runs - I load loaded cartridges where they should be (in stations 3 & 4 in my SDB - I don't know how many you need in a 1050) and put empty cases every where else - then crank a few out - should be a lot better. BUT, a longer run is okay also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into this problem and thought it was a seating depth problem but found it was due to primer seating depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Well, maybe after-market upgrades weren't. I know this may sound insulting, but did you readjust your dies after the change over? If not, did the after-market stuff mean that the ram isn't going down as much? Are you sure everything is tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) I had to change the four lockdown screws with the thinner white locking tabs and the screws with thinner heads that secure the ring that holds the shell plate. The original screws and tabs were too thick after I installed the roller bearings kit and wouldn’t let the tool head go all the way down.

JDIllon Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Thanks for all of the input. I have been out of state for some weeks and havn't been running anything. I have made all of the checks above. After I make my next run, I will let you guys know. Thanks again, JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
