primer seat depth
Quote from Reloader on January 12, 2012, 2:11 amQuestion regarding what primers are used to set up the 1050 prior to shipping (.45 ACP)?
The test round came with a well seated primer. I am using Win LPP's and they dont seem to seat as deeply as whatever you use. Is there a big variance in the sidewall of different manufacturers primers?
I have adjusted the rod to activate the tappet probably 5-6 times about an 1/8 of a turn each time and I think my primers are still high. I get some weeble wobble when I set the loaded rounds on their headstamp. My Colt Commander crushes them fine but I am finding my M&P will get light strikes and FTF unless struck a second time.
Being a little concerned about wrenching down on the primer adjustment, should I just continue with 1/8 turns or is the push rod threading so fine that a more significant adjustment is required to get some good movement at the primer punch?

Also, variations in case rim dimensions affect how far the seating punch needs to travel. 1/8th turn increments is the correct way to adjust this.
