GregInAtl Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 On my 650, I have a primer magazine full of primers and I am done loading for a while. How can I empty the magazine without spilling primers all over the inside of the primer shield. I want to put them back in the box they came in. This isn't a problem on the 550b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open17 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 No idea on the 650, but I do have a 550B. How is it "not a problem" on the 550B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Actually only had to do this once. and was very surprised that when I pulled the magazine to get a stuck primer out that the primers didnt come with it. I put the plastic tray under the general area and removed the 2 allen head bolts. once its free just slid the primer assembly over into the bin, thinking I would lose them all but theres a tab on the bottom that keeps them from dumping. just loosen the assembly and turn it over into a small container. there will be a few on the press afterwords that were in the carousel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Just like on the 550 remove the priming system and pour them out. or cycle the handle 100 times. Edited April 2, 2020 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 550, you just remove the cap from the shield and pull the magazine out and the primers are still in the magazine . On the 650, when you lift the magazine out of the shield, the primers fall out the end Edited April 2, 2020 by GregInAtl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) I just leave them in there. Or just run it down till empty. Edited April 2, 2020 by Racinready300ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Leave them in the press. Three months sitting in the press in a damp garage all winter? They still go bang just fine, year after year. I used to strip all components out of my machine each time. Nowdays primer and powder live in it for weeks or months without any concern from me.

RangerTrace Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yeah, I used to remove powder/primers after each session. I still try to end my session on an empty primer magazine, but the powder stays ready to roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conditionone Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have the aftermarket primer chute with the small bottle on it. I just advance the primer indexing arm with my trigger finger until it's empty. I store the primers in a small bottle. Full primer tube, I remove the bottle and put a larger bottle under the chute.
