Dillon 650 Primer Cam
Quote from Reloader on January 25, 2010, 2:31 pmHow far out is the primer cam supposed to project from the frame? My primer feed is not indexing correctly (messed up the primer indexing arm) and wanted to make sure the cam was not messed up. It looks ok, but not sure. Thanks!

If it isn't worn out, you might have bent that chrome plated arm that rotates the primer plate. Don't ask me how I know this; but if a primer has ever gotten stuck/sideways in the primer feed assembly, you may have bent this arm. You can feel the extra resistance on the upstoke or the ram(down stroke of the handle).
