Indexing problem

Pulled the shell plate to blow excess powder from under the shell case holder and know won't index properly.  Just got done running 500 40 S &W though it.  Any suggestions?  Won't index forward but did index in reverse.

I would be willing to bet that you have the shell plate bolt too tight. Loosen the set screw, back the shell plate bolt a bit until you can index it by hand. Tighten the set screw, and you should bet set.

Be sure the tomahawk-shaped index pawl is installed correctly (broad edge facing left)  and that the detent ball is in place under the shellplate.
