Primer feed disc not indexing far enough.
Quote from Reloader on May 11, 2015, 2:50 amI've developed a problem with my 650's primer feed disc not indexing far enough. When the mechanism turns it, it seems to only be going 90-95% of the way. So the holes aren't ling up with the primer seating ram.
I don't see anything bent, so I was wondering if there are common wear parts that would cause this that need to be replaced? I see wear on the corner of the actuator, but not enough that I would think would cause trouble.

If the disc properly rotates when you manually push it, then the cam is worn. If the disc fails to rotate fully when operated by hand, then the index arm is damaged. Please email us as to which is damaged, and include your address so we can mail a warranty replacement part.

Off the press everything seems in working order. What I put it on the press it indexes half way and gets jammed up. I played with it a while, tightening the bolts, leaving them loose... no change.
Now I see this and I'm unsure. http://photos.imageevent.com/cas6969/inbox/websize/FullSizeRender.jpg
Is the primer ram (with no pressure on it) supposed to be sticking up this high? I'm thinking not, and the primers obviously are hanging up on it? If it is right, I'm not sure how the primers are supposed to get up on it?I pulled it out and don't anything that looks out of the ordinary.
