primer seating punch adjustment
Quote from Reloader on February 23, 2020, 3:33 amIs there any way of adjusting the primer seating punch to seat primers a little bit deeper into the case?
I have read that to get a lighter DA trigger pull for the S&W 929 revolver the seating depth of the primer should be 6 thou or more below the case head?
So can I adjust the primer seating punch in the XL650 and if so how would you go about it?

Next, push down on the edge of the shellplate at station 4. If it feels springy, then the shellplate bolt needs to be slightly tighter. Finally, make sure your bench top isn't flexing when you push forward on the handle. Plywood is a poor choice for a benchtop material . 1" thick particle board is stiffer, and a better choice.
