Help - Failsafe rod
Quote from Reloader on August 15, 2010, 3:52 pmI have just purchased a quick change caliber conversion kit to load 9mm. the problem i am having is at station 2. After the powder measurer drops a charge and I begin to lower the shellplate the failsafe rod wants to come out of the bellcrank housing (maily the backplate of the bellcrank housing) causing the failsafe rod to bind. My first thoughts were the z bend in the failsafe rod but I load 10mm 45acp, and 44 mag with this same rod and never a problem, I also made sure that the rod itself is aligned straight with the return bracket. any ideas as to what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated guys 🙂
