click in the action - primer feeding
Quote from Reloader on November 11, 2008, 3:53 amI have a problem going on with my Square Deal. It has developed a point in the lever throw where it sticks when coming back up. When it hits this points (with or without primers in it), it seems to flip the primer around so it can load upside down or sideways.
Any ideas on what is sticking? I have never taken this apart or changed calibers so I'm thinking it is more of an adjustment that can change or a worn part.

Quote from Reloader on November 12, 2008, 6:24 pmIf it sticks while loading new brass, this is not uncommon. The new brass tends to hang up on the powder funnel.
If the sticking occurs without brass on the shellplate, then most likely the bottom of the index lever needs to be greased.

Quote from Reloader on November 13, 2008, 8:54 pmMight want to try some case lube IN the mouth of a case or two and see if that helps--that way you know it's the powder funnel.
I took out my powder funnel and put it to a buffing wheel--seemed to help. I also do a 'controlled' raising of the lever arm--I do it slow and steady while holding on the the ball so it doesn't move too fast

Quote from Reloader on February 17, 2009, 3:47 amOrder a spare parts kit for your machine and take it apart. there is a white plastic piece with a metal end to it that indexes the shellplate. It sounds like that piece has worn at the tip and is not indexing all the way. The kit is 18.95 + shipping there are may other small common wear parts with the kit.

Quote from Reloader on April 28, 2009, 1:07 amIs this where the primer cup snaps on the shell plate as it tries to index? I had this problem on my SDB and it required a tear down and thorough cleaning along with some new wave bearings. Pay close attention to which way you install the wave bearing as they will fit most any way in the press but will only allow the press to work properly one way.
