Rotation plate encounters primer
Quote from Reloader on June 17, 2020, 11:58 pmHoping for some ideas regarding the alignment of my 550L. When hand rotating the shell plate, it encounters the primer and will not proceed until I pull the handle slightly which allows clearance. I'm sure it is something simple, but looking over the diagram, I am not sure where I can make that adjustment.

Remove the primer assembly, to get the slide out. Remove the set screw that retains the primer cup parts, clean 'em, and reassemble. Possibly a piece of spent primer or tumble media somehow interfering with the cup/spring/punch.
