primer punch
Quote from Reloader on April 10, 2011, 10:07 pmI know they don't want you to take these apart but I am using lots of 748 and it seems to be getting down along side the primer punch and making it raise a bit. Anyone had any success taking the punch apart and cleaning out the stuff? I shoot a lot of AR ammo and this is at least annoying or causes hang ups. I tumble in the smaller Dillon tumber, Full length resize and clean primer pockets after swaging so I am sure it is not coming from the cases. Thoughts suggestions? Quick fixes, as I am again having hang ups. Thinking of soaking in Brakekleen but one of my Buddies said not to do that due to building a potentially harmful combination?

Unscrew it from the underside of the platform, push down on the lip of the spring retaining cap, and pry off the e-clip. This allows removal of the spring for easier cleaning.
