Primers won’t drop into cup
Quote from Reloader on April 10, 2021, 4:51 pmAll of a sudden my primers fail to drop into my primer cup. The slide bar goes all the way back, the pin comes all the way back as well. I have replaced, cup, spring, cup pin, primer bar bearing, primer bar and spring, end tip (blue) checked all specks and the primers still stay in the blue tip of the drop tube.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
