Spent primer overflow = broken part (650)


Recommended Posts

In a frenzy of 45 ACP reloading, I let my spent primer cup overfill. Apparently, this causes the primers to back up into Station 1, and lifts the Station 1 locator out of position.

Not sure what happened next, but I managed to crush the 'rails' in the Station 1 locator. :(

They're pretty tweaked, and even after I bent them back into shape, they are catching the brass cases and not sliding them firmly into the shellplate.

Anyone have this happen? Are these locators repairable with a file and some careful work, or is it a $15+9 mistake?

Time to replace the primer cup with a tube + can solution, as others have done..
