Nick_shoots_fast Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 So I’ve been having this problem for a while now and Dillon said they don’t know what the problem is. I usually use cci primers and I got a deal on federals. I thought this issue is with the primers but it isn’t. When the case goes into the priming spot and I go to seat a primer, the primer hangs up. When I seat the primer it feels like it has a hard time finding the primer pocket in the hole. Sometimes the primer is 1/2 way into the case and it gets hung up. When I pull the case out, the primer is 1/2 way in and 1/2 way out. then sometimes the primer will have a hard time going in but it does go in. When this happens the primer is slanted on one side like the primer wasn’t aligned. I used the alignment tool and everything is aligned properly. has anyone had this issue?

I changed out the spring that advances the wheel that the primers move from the tube to the priming station and have not had that happen againSent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thormx538 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I had issues similar to that but it was related to the tension of the little gate thingy that holds the case in position 2. You mentioned you have aligned everything with the alignment tool, but it may be worth changing the tension on the gate to see if your issues go away. Is it crimped brass?

Is it crimped brass? how do you change the tension on that? That makes sense a little. I’ll have to check it out in the am to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed it out a few months ago but not sure if this is wat you’re talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, it turned out to be a problem with that spring loaded finger holding the brass too tightly, so it couldn't self-align to the primer. The adjustment screw is in a recess to the right of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 The space between the gate and the brass should be the width of a credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was loading yesterday every slowly to see what’s going on. When the primer would hang up as it’s supposed to be going into the case, I messed with that metal door. After messing with it, the primer was able to go in with no problem. my question is how do I know when it’s out enough. Not sure what you mean by the width.

With a brass in station 2 place a credit card between the brass and the arm, the credit card should be touching the brass and the arm and the card shoukd be able to slide up and down freely, that's you're width..

Dirtchevy841 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Another thing to check other than the credit card width is making sure your not running brass with crimped primer pockets. I had a bad batch of brass with it and caused these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this is the press. It’s very frustrating not being able to pin the issue down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Every time I’ve had priming issues with my 650 it’s been the parts on the primer indexing assembly. I keep a spare parts kit so I can replace them when needed. A few weeks ago in the middle of loading 3k rounds it started to have priming issues with it not indexing, a few flipped primers etc. I stopped and replaced the warn parts; primer index arm and spring, locator tab spring and the disc detention and spring and it was back to working 100%. Finished up about 2k rounds and not a single primer issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I would’ve went from my sdb to 1050 long time ago. 1050 is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this issue if a crimped pocket sneaks into the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m into the press $3 grand + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
