Primer loading tube
Quote from Reloader on April 20, 2012, 11:09 pmHi,
I am having a problem with the primer pick up tube for small primers. I can load the primers into the tube fine, but they will not slide out into the primer feed tube by themselves. When I put the primer pick up tube on top of the primer feed tube on the press, then pull the pin to allow the primers to slide into the feed tube, they don't slide. I can set the plastic rod that goes into the feed tube when it is loaded with primers that sets off the low primer alarm into the top of the primer pick up tube. The weight of that plastic rod will make the primers slide out, but they will not slide on their own. I have tried cleaning the tube, but it makes no difference.

I did go buy a brush for a .17 caliber bore. I had just run a patch through the tube before. The brush got a bunch of silver colored gunk out of it, then I run patches through it till they came out clean. Now the primers slide through freely.
