650 Jamming

[renaissance7697]

Finished rounds are "Jamming" in the shell plate coming out of station 5.

Thje ejection wire is "Jamming them in the shell plate rather than "sliding them out into the finnished bin.

38 spl

I have the ejection wire as flat (low) as possible over the shell plate.

It is not any particular station in the shell plate

It is NOT any particular brand of shell.

It IS annoying

I have examined the shellplate for burs....can find none.

Have wire brushed out (by hand) the shell plate stations anyway.

None of the above helped

It is doing it once every 10-15 rounds

When it jams

I ease back on the handle (removing pressure of the shell against the ejection wire).

The Finished cartridge is jammed in the shellplate slot.

It requires quite a bit of effort to "spin it loose".

Driving me nuts...( well, irritating me more than a little)

What can I do ? ( besides wining to Dillon )

Grease on wire ?

Grease in shellplate stations? (doesn't feel right to me )

I have the same problem, and I did wine to Dillon. They told me to radius the corner of the shell plate with a dremel. They told me that sometimes the shell just sticks in "deeper" and when it hits the ejector wire funny it gets pushed in instead of sliding accross the edge. I have yet to make the fix.

Hope this helps, and I will keep an eye on the post to see if there are any other ideas before I go grinding away.

Hey renaissance7697,

I thought that this thread looked familiar!! I don't mean to be rude or anything but when we continue to work through a problem here on the forums we normally don't start a new thread. That way, new people who jump in won't waste time suggesting things that have already been mentioned. It is also packages the discussion in one nice neat location.

Give what sasquatch suggests a try. I don't recall anyone lubing the shellplate slots. Just keep them clean. What did Dillon suggest when you called them?

Later,

Chuck
