Primer interferes with shell plate
Quote from Reloader on February 8, 2017, 7:25 pmI just switched to the 550C from the Square Deal. I'm noticing that when the handle is at rest, the primer (in the cup) protrudes high enough to interfere with the turning of the shell plate. I have to pull the handle slightly to get the shell plate high enough to clear the primer so that I can move it to the next station.
Am I missing a washer perhaps? Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!

If loading one at a time, the primer will protrude high enough to interfere with rotation of the shellplate.

Once you intend to progressively load, reinstall the op=rod.
