Frustrated, (before I found the forum) I cut a coat hanger wire which equaled the length of the plastic alarm rod. There was only one primer and of course I'm pushing this man-made firing pin, knowing it may cause detonation....well, it did cause it to go off without anything other than the bang of a toy gun cap.
The tube does not seem to have been bent, nor clogged by debris. I reused it without any difficulties.
Now I know....call Dillon, it's under warranty !
