shellplate rotates counterclockwise
Quote from Reloader on April 9, 2010, 9:20 amwhile trying to learn about a newly acquired SDB, I've come across another issue. On the down-stroke; the shellplate rotates counter-clockwise to the point that at the end of the down-stroke, the cases have moved back to the prevoius station. It seems the indexer lever is hooking the shellplate when it should just be moving under it. On the up-stroke it then does rotate it clockwise again. Should the indexer be replaced ?? and how do you get to it ?? Also, would the de-tent ball and spring have anything to do with this ??
Just for an FYI, this is a newly rehabed unit and I've made bullets on it without issue; it just started this.

Not sure what happened to it; I did take the shellplate off before , maybe it "sprung out" onto the floor or something. Well. I have a SDB spare parts kit so I had another one to replace it. Put it all back together and its all working correctly...........THANKS DILLON !!!!!!!!!
