Loading 380
Quote from Reloader on January 1, 2018, 4:22 pmI have been loading 45acp for a couple years on the 650 with zero problems. Just got the conversion for 380 and I seem to be having issues with the case feed. The smaller 380's tend to get jammed up at the feeder tube up top as they enter and also sometimes feed in upside down. Am I missing something? I put in the small pistol plate in the case feeder. Otherwise the rest of the setup works fine. Never had any issues with 45.

I've only been watching once when it happened, I usually don't know about it until the cases start falling on me. The one time I saw it happen the case was sitting a bit chocked in the shell plate and it dropped just before that position move out of the opening that allows then to drop into the funnel.
