Primer pockets and the XL650

[Macca]

I lose maybe 10 out of 1200 primers to crushing in primer pockets on 9mm cases in my XL650

Im guessing this is a normal amount of shrinkage when bulk loading.....I don't think its the press's fault cause I can push out maybe 100 rounds or atleast 40-50 before having a primer stick. if I am on the ball enough I feel the resistance, turn the case and then often the primer will slide into the pocket.

Is this a normal amount of crushed primers?

I very seldom crush a primer on my 650, not anywhere close to 10 per 1200 rds. After you set off a tube full you will spent the time to learn how to not do that. Check the adjustment of your station 2 locator Also make sure the primer punch is tight..----------Larry
