question about the case feeder
Quote from Reloader on July 10, 2013, 11:52 pmI am having trouble with the .45 acp shells not lining up in the shellholder to prime the shell. I don't have any trouble with the other calibers doing this. I am curious if there is a way to adjust the casefeeder arm so it doesn't do this? It seems like the primer plunger is pushing the shell out of the holder. It does it about 3 out of 7 shells. I can push it back in place with no problem but I don't think it is supposed to work that way. Thank you for any help you can give.

For me, I found that if I remove the tool head and look straight down at the platform I can watch the case as it get pushed into place by the case feeder. I have to do this whenever I change calibers.

I'm sure it is something that I am doing but I cant' figure it out yet. Still wouldn't trade my 550 for anything. The greatest machine ever.
