Solved my 650 High Primer Issue

[DBlue]

I bought a new 650 a few months ago and have been having a problem with high primers. I had found that the primer plunger was not really tight and tightened that up and thought that was the problem, but I was still having the high primer issue....it did not matter what brand of primer I used it was still happening.

I don't know if this was just a issue with my loader or if they are all like this...but, last week I took the primer plunger apart and chucked the plunger in one of my lathes and cut the shoulder stop back about 10 thousands and re-cut a 60 deg. bevel...... doing this gave the plunger more protrusion and I have loaded a couple thousand rounds since doing it with not the first high primer.

Just thought I would share what I found and hopefully it will help someone else if they are having the same problem.

 

Here's a pic of what I did......

Not normal at all. A call to Dillon would have been easier.

Cool but bummer you had to fix it.
