Have an occasional hold up.

First I need to apologize for my churlishness last time I was asking for help and not getting it quickly. Life makes us all busy.

Now one to my latest. When loading shotshells on occasion the shot bar actuator {Shot dispenser bell crank} (part number 16727 hangs up on the {shot dispenser body} (part # 16725). This results in a 'short drop' of shot followed by an 'overfill drop' of shot on the next hull.

In fact this has started to 'burr' the square downward projection of the {dispenser body}. Apparently this press was set for Win AA hulls and I am using Remington Blue Peters and STS hulls.

This hitch does not happen every load or even 1 of 20. but happens more frequently towards the end of each loading session.

Is there an adjustment I need to make?

A picture is available if need be.

Thanks

Try tightening up the blue wing nut a bit more. The return rod is what retracts the shot bar, and the tighter the wing nut is set, the less the lock-link engages the corner of the shot dispenser body.
