Primer System ?
Quote from Reloader on December 24, 2008, 4:38 pmWould like to know what the distance is between the "shellplate" and the "Rotary Primer Disc" when everything is assembled. The reason I'm asking is that I have a batch of primers that every now and then Jam them self's in this space which requires a shell plate removal to clear. I started to measure these primers in question and the are about .145" tall, where as a normal primer seems to be about .130".
Thx - Roger

Might only be mine but I don't think so. Winchester seems to be the most consistant without all the hassle of hanging a primer in the primer washer.

Quote from Reloader on December 26, 2008, 6:23 pmI've only had the 650 for about a year now, but I've loaded at least 2,000 30-06 and 2,500 .223 all with CCI primers with no problem until last week. I send CCI an email last week and they wanted to know the lot numbers in question. Havn't heard back from them as of yet. I looks like it maybe just a bad batch of primers. I completed my reloading with a different box of CCI primers (300 rounds) with no problems.
We will see what they say.

Quote from Reloader on December 29, 2008, 10:49 pmI have loaded more than 1500 223 cal with CCI small rifle primers this past summer with no problems in my 650. But, saying that, I have had at times problems at times loading federal small pistol primers in 38 cal. I found that cleaning & keeping burnt power and dirt off on the primer wheel seems to help stop primer problems seating there. DW
