Primers getting stuck filling the primer feed tube.
Quote from Reloader on June 15, 2011, 12:19 amAll of a sudden the primers aren't flowing when I pull the pin, to fill the primer feed tube. They keep flipping and getting caught. This is with small pistol primers. I've replaced a few of the blue tips, but it keeps happening.
They are easy to dislodge, however filling up the press so I can load has become a challenge.
Any advice?
Thanks
