Flexmoney Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Shell plate too tight? Not allowing full rotation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittbug Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 This happened to me after I had loaded up a few thousand rounds. A bunch of gunk had built up on/under the primer wheel causing it to stop short instead of snapping into place when it hit the detent. I just took it apart, gave it a quick clean to fix it.

Will do in the am. Ive loaded 2k rounds and this started happening into about 1600 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I agree with the others - empty the machine of brass and primers, and make sure the shellplate and primer wheel rotate/ratchet correctly and smoothly. Clean and lube. Check every allen screw you can find to ensure it's tight. I added a weight (random nut that was the right size) to my low-primer alarm's guiderod thingy. This cuts down on flipped/crushed primers slightly. Also ensure the bench is bolted to the wall. That makes a world of difference in ALL aspects of 650 reloading.
