RL 550 Primer feed stop spring
Quote from Reloader on July 22, 2016, 6:18 amMy machine will not feed a primer unless the primer slide is manually pulled to the rear at the full extent of it's rearward travel. If I loosen the primer feed stop screw it will work properly.
What am I doing wrong?

Another possibility is that the end of the operating rod that inserts into the block has some metal deposits on it. Use steel wool or a scotchbrite pad to scrub clean the short end of the operating rod, and then lightly grease it.
