Primer click on up stroke
Quote from Reloader on March 21, 2017, 12:47 amHello all. My square D primer system has developed a click just after a full down stroke. Just as I raise the handle there is a click that will dislodge the pins and toss powder. I purchased a new primer slide feed and same problem. I am having 1 of 5 primers sideways. I have adjusted the set screw more times than I care to count. Shell plate rotates fine. Any suggestions?

Shell plate seems to be turning smoothly and ending up correctly on the shell plate. Anyone have a suggestion before i call Dillon?

Quote from Reloader on March 21, 2017, 7:46 pmOn the Square Deal machine, the "click" you hear at the beginning of the downstroke of the handle is the sound of index lever pivoting to the left under spring pressure. This is when it locates into the hole in the shellplate to prepare to advance it clockwise during the upstroke of the handle.

Look to see if the primer cup catches on the hole in the shellplate. If it does, you will hear a click as the cup snaps up into the hole. This often flips the primer sideways or even upside down. Check all four positions on the shellplate, and let us know your results.

Quote from Reloader on June 5, 2018, 7:09 pmCheck the overall height of the primer slide as per the drawing on page 4 of the manual. If this measurement exceeds 1.410", then the primer cup is too tall, and the hole in the shellplate it passes through hasn't moved far enough to allow them to line up. Use a vise or clamp to seat the primer cup and punch deeper, to match the specs.
