Primers
Quote from Reloader on August 5, 2011, 12:39 amI am seeing that sometimes the primers does not get punched out during the de-capping stage. I wind up with say 2 extra primers, and 2 rounds with fired primers in the new loads? The de capping die is tight in the head of the press. The fired primers are flush with the bottom of the case.
I'm loading 9mm
HELP!

Sometimes the spent primer is dangling, sometimes it appears completely seated. I recognize the problem in stage 2 as soon as the new primer contacts the old primer. I pull the brass and rerun in stage 1. Usually it will then deprime but not always. One headstamp has more problems than the others.

Quote from Reloader on November 7, 2011, 3:35 pmwhat is happening is that the spent primer is sticking to the bottom of the decapping pin, then getting pulled back up into the primer pocket as the handle is lifted up. Pin length is not the issue. Use some medium grit sandpaper and round off any squared edges on the tip of the pin. Then the spent primer will be less likely to get wedged onto the end of the pin.
