primer shell plate contact
Quote from Reloader on September 13, 2009, 9:26 pmHi Folks,
Total new guy here, setting up and using 550B for the first time with a .223 setup. I experienced something that may well be normal operation, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
If I have primers loaded (small rifle) but don't put a case in the first station, when I rotate the shell plate, the plate hits the primer in the cup and will not advance. When the station is occupied and I seat the primer, then things work fine and there is no contact?
Thanks for you help.
Terry

Just a little trick for your powder drop with 223 hang a piece of unscented dryer sheet in the tube then fill with powder it will take the static charge out and let the powder drop more freely.
