Bmans45 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 This is the first I have had a case feeder when I got my 750. I loaded my first 500 rounds. Every 50 or so rounds was upside down . I am really not sure how to correct this problem. any advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) What caliber? How do you have it mounted? How fast are you running the CF? Edited November 21, 2019 by Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 What caliber are you reloading and what shell plate are you using in the case feeder? It is also important to know how many cases you are dumping into the case feeder to start off with? If you overload the case feeder with too much brass you will have some upside down drops. If you are using the wrong size shell plate in the case feeder it will also cause upside down drops. The Small Shell plate is for 9mm/38 cal size cases. The Large Shell plate is for 40/45 cal. If you are using the Large Shell plate with 9mm/38 cal it will cause upside down drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmans45 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 It’s the large plate and I am loading 40 cal. The speed is about middle of the way . It’s mounted on the post that came with the press. How many cases can I put in it at one time? I loaded 500 and had to add oases twice because I cannot see into the hopper so I was not sure how many to add at one time . I will try slowing it down and see if that helps .

MikeyScuba Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I get that when the plate isn’t seated properly and there is a gap. Take a look at the top of the funnel and see. too many cases stops it dead and it doesn’t move without help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Mine only does it when a case gets stuck in the opening and gets thumped the wrong direction when it clears. I'm about to switch from Dillon case lube to One Shot. Dillon is just to sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRyan13 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) 40 should be small pistol, no? Been a while since I ran that one... but the cases are small. Edit.. 45 colt and 44mag is large btw. Edited November 22, 2019 by DJRyan13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get 100% alcohol on amazon and thin the Dillon lube waaay Down. I would cut it in half for starters. Dillon is way too rich in stock form Edited November 22, 2019 by Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 In 40 Cal you can use the small or the large plate. I have seen a more frequent happening of upside down cases when using the large plate and a fast speed. Try the small plate or slowing down the feed speed. I use the small plate on my 650 press setup for 40 cal and have never been able to outrun it while reloading. I use the large plate on my Rollsizer machine with 40 cal because that machine can consume the brass much faster than the case feeder with a small plate can feed it. With 40 cal brass I will limit the maximum brass dump to 400 cases. More than that and it usually has more jamming and upside down case drop issues. This is especially true when using the large plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78Staff Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I tend to see them with 9mm occasionally, but never in other pistol calibers. IIRC I think I read that putting a piece of moleskin on the clear funnel, or taping a cut piece of card stock paper or similar helps a lot, as it reduces the odd bounce in the funnel that flips the case upside down.

V2plus25 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I regularly put 500 .40 cases in my CF at a time without issue and use One-shot on the cases. And I want to say it’s with the large shell plate as well although I’ll have to double check that when I get home. If swapping the shell plate doesn’t fix it I’d recommend watching the case feeder run visually. The problem should become clear fairly quickly once you can see what’s causing the upside-down cases.

Sarge Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 .40 can use small or large plate if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesedTech Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 This may sound stupid, but I was having an occasional upside down case until I made sure the feeder pole was as close to vertical as possible. For some reason the angle of the feeder made a difference. Same thing with the bullet feeder, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 If there is a significant amount movement with the case feeder with the upstroke and downstrok that will cause cases to feed in upside down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmans45 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I didn’t know you could use the small plate. When you order a plate the large says it is for 45/40 . I will have to try the small one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used one shot before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is my problem I have about one out of a hundred 9mm case that gets feed upside down. My 1050 and case feeder is mounted to the table real good but my table has just a little movement in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are dry tumbling and then loading one shot allows you to not have to tumble clean after loading. I found all the others (including home made lube) leave such a sticky film on the finished round it is mandatory to clean them post loading.

But they load so much smoother with lanolin based lube than with OS. It’s worth tumbling for 10-15 minutes to clean them up after loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I wanted to know never used one shot and I don’t mind tumbling finished rounds for about 5 -10 min to get the sticky off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
