Sarge Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 When I lube my shaft I get crappy spooge like stuff under my primer slide. Will lubing UNDER the frame as opposed to above prevent this? Will the shaft be lubed good enough that way? Every time I get my primer setup to work perfectly then put a tiny bit of oil on the shaft my priming starts to hiccup. Thanksa lot.

How often are you doing this and what are you using for lube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Ive got some 30w that I put in a pen oiler with a needle. I put a few drops around the shaft every k or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was supposed to get a spot of oil once in a while. I find that oil makes them sticky when it combines with burned powder/lead. Some people have had luck using powder graphite. I run mine with no lube at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMITH Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The primer slide gets NO LUBE, the ram gets oil and as much as you can get on it is good. Oil the main ram in smaller doses more often so the nasty gunk runs out the bottom instead of onto your primer slide. You will know your Dillon is happy when there is an oil spot under it like an old Harley. If the oil spot is black you aren't lubing enough, if it is brown you are good to go.

CSEMARTIN Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 This is what I use to lube my 550 and 650 shaft. You can get it for a few bucks at Ace Hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
