Indentions in new primers...

#1 · May 29, 2008, 9:58 pm

so it seems for some reason now after every 10-20 rounds, i am getting this indention into my primers as i load

and then when i look at the primer pusher, there is a little metal shaving (im guessing its shaving a little of the primer off)

any way to remedy this problem?

This is indeed shavings from the edge of the primer cup, being clipped off while they are seated. Make sure the shellplate is snug-push down on the edge of the shellplate between stations 2 and 3. If it feels springy, then snug the shellplate bolt a little. Also, adjust the bent-paperclip lookin' wire to almost(but not quite)touch the rim of the case. It should be within .002"-.006" of touching, about the thickness of a piece of paper.
