cnjaxx Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 That little primer door on the 550 is a pain in the A$$. I can't seem to stop it from hanging up. Spent primers all over the place. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? I was having trouble with spent primers hitting and bouncing to the floor where the cup mounts to the link arm. I bent a tab on the bottom of the chute to deflect them and it seems to be working better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 There is a thread around here somewhere which tell how to mod the system to catch all of them. It uses a coffe can and a tube for the spent primers to fall through and into. Search and you should find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The aluminum cotter key that the gate pivots on is bent. Yank it out, grab a small safety pin, open it up, poke the pointy end thru the holes, then snap it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I also found a small nail, sometimes called a "wire nail" works well also. Neal in AZ The aluminum cotter key that the gate pivots on is bent.

Any suggestions? Buy a Super 1050. No, really, buy a 1050 and all your spent primer issues will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spent primer now go into an acro bin under the bench. Take a fired .223 case, cut off the base, jam the nech into the spent primer exhaust hole, attach a plastic tube cut to the required length and route to the catch bin. I have a cable clamp holding the tube to the bench and make sure that it doesn't catch on the cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
