PistolPete Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 here is the deal. I was reloading tonight on my 650 and was about 500 rounds into it and then all of a sudden my primers wouldn't seat properly. They were only going in about 1/3 of the way. So I took the shell plate off and tried cleaning underneath in case some dust etc. was causing this problem. I put it all back together tightening the bolt tightly and then backing it off about 1/8 of a turn as per instruction in the book. Well now when I try seating the primers they are seated about 95% but I can't get them to seat any deaper. Anyone have any ideas of what this might be or how I can fix it? It is really starting to piss me off. Thanks in advance, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkelly Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 PistolPete, You could try making sure that the piston that pushes the primer into the pocket is screwed fully in. jkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVI4ME Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Mine does that every once in a while. I found it to be the shell plate not adjusted right. To much wiggle to seat correctly. Check the primer piston. I try to give it an extra push up to be sure not to get a high primer. I wish there was an adjustment like the 1050 on the 650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 Well about 5 minutes after I posted this I looked things over. come to find out there was a spent primer underneath the primer piston causing the piston itselt not to be raised to its highest point. I removed this spent primer and the problem went away. Damn, there needs to be a better design for the primer catch. It's bad enough picking them up off the floor by the dozens now I it is effecting my reloading by messing with my machine. LOL thanks, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 Thanks GRW for the link. I'll have to do that tubing idea. I'm so sick of picking these spent primers up all the time. Then with the fiance goes to vaccuum and sucks one up she gets all pissed off... HEHE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Better she gets to vacuum them up than find them in the daiper of the little person that just had to check out the reloading room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
