Primer push rod

Can you send me a photo of what the push rod seating should look without the shellplate in place.

The reason I ask is that I am getting a lot of crushed primers and the primer plate will not always turn to the correct place.

This all began when I started getting high primers & I tried to adjust the the primer push rod.

I think I am getting the primers jammed against the push rod

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Andrew,

 Sorry, no pics readily available. There is no adjustment to the primer seater on the XL650. The bushing is screwed up into the underside of the platform until it stops. Without upward pressure on the primer seating punch, it should be somewhere bewteen flush to .020" below flush with the top of the bushing.

If I tighten the primer seater all the way the primer push rod obstructs the primer plate from rotating so I back it off.

I then get primers not seating fully & the occasional primer being crushed

Remove the primer seating punch assembly from the underside of the platform. If the punch is taller than the top of the bushing, soak it in solvent a while, then push it in and out several times to clear any dirt or grit from the bushing. If, after that the punch does not retract to flush with or slightly below flush with the face of the bushing, then contact us for a replacement primer seating assembly.
