Shellplate problem?
Quote from Reloader on April 19, 2013, 2:16 amI am getting cases stuck in station 1, the shell plate does not hold on on the up stroke. Before this I had been having problems with the rounds coming out of station 4 pushing the ejection wire out of the way. I switched back to another die set I had and it ran fine. Could not post pics, the shell holder is much rougher than any of the others I have. I got this on a trade, I have .38,.45, and .380 sets that have given me no problem. I am not sure how to "buff out" the burrs to prevent the station 4 stroke sticking and fix the station 1 issue. Any ideas?

One thing I found that may help others. If you get a case stuck in the #1 die, remove the toolhead and remove the #1 die with case. Place in a single stage reloader, in my case a Rock Chucker, and slide the shell holder onto the case and arm at the same time. It pulls out the case easily.
