Primers falling through
Quote from Reloader on March 18, 2018, 7:02 pmI ran into a new problem for me today when reloading, the primers started to fall through the machine for no reason at all.
The first time it happened I removed the primer feed tube from the machine, cleaned the primer slide and the small pin that holds the primers in the tube and also the small hole it runs through.
After that I can only do one stroke of the handle and the whole primer tube comes down into the primer slide. It seems like there's an issue with that the plastic pin doesn't go back fast enough to catch the primers coming down from the tube.
The flat spring that push it back seems fine.Anyone else with the same experience? What did you do to solve it? Dillon, any suggestions?
The IPSC season is about to start here in snowy Sweden so I'd really like to have some ammo made 'til then

When those are broken or worn they do not hold the primers in place, I dont think it is the primer retaining pin. If you dont have a replacement, Dillon will send you one.
