380 case feeding problem
Quote from Reloader on August 10, 2009, 2:02 amI'm using the 650 with case feeder and when I am loading 380 ACP, some of the cases get stuck in each other, ie: the base of one case is stuck in the mouth of the one below. When this happens the lower case will not feed and I have to remove the entire tube of cases to clear the problem. This seems to occur about 1 in 20 rounds, so it really slows down progress. Any thoughts on what might help?
Thanks,
YosemiteSam

The exterior diameter of a new sized case at the mouth is 0.373" while the headstamped base is 0.374". Only 1 thousandth of an inch. You could aslo try changing firearms.
