Loaded rounds falling to the Floor
Quote from Reloader on August 18, 2012, 5:46 amIs there an adjustment for loaded rounds falling to the floor rather than going down the shute to the plastic bin. I am loading 38 specials and quite a few rounds are not going down the shute to the blue bin. Thanks Al

I am also having trouble on the same machine with the shell plate of 9mm snaping. I have adjusted this several times but I still seem to get a small amount of snaping. Not so as it snaps enough to shake powder out of a loaded case or flip a primer over. Its just seems like it takes alot of tinkering to get the machine to run right when changing calibers. Thanks for the help Al

I clip a small piece of cardboard on mine to lessen the frequency of them hitting the floor

Quote from Reloader on March 6, 2016, 9:13 amI recently acquired a very lightly used but older SDB and was having the same problem loading .32 H&R magnum.
The problem turned out to be that I had an old-style case eject wire. I had fashioned one for myself out of a heavy paper clip that worked, but I contacted Dillon and they sent me two new-style wires.
I would check to see if you have an older wire.

I have no idea whether I have the old or new wires, but since the cardboard works I have no reason to change anything.

Quote from Reloader on March 27, 2016, 2:34 pmI was able to bend my ejector wire into the shape of a pretzel--all my fault
when Dillon sent a new one it had a different shape and does a much better job of kicking the cartridges out of the machine earlier keeping the rounds from missing the ramp and hitting the floor.I think Dillon has come up with the solution here,
