Slightly raised primers
Quote from Reloader on December 21, 2010, 6:45 pmThe primers are sometimes slightly raised. It tends to happen when using CCI (hard) primers and not so much with Federal.
I'm sure that I'm getting full travel to seat them and have just tightened the shellplate a bit. Is there another adjustment that can help?
Thanks,
Pete

If your benchtop is plywood, it may be flexing enough to prevent proper seating of the primers. Federal primers are softer, easier to seat than other brands.

I did tighten the shellplate and will let you know over the next week or so if it happens.
Just trying to tweak things to keep it all working well. Thanks

I need to add a brace to keep the legs from sliding out and giving flex. I held my foot against it and it seemed to solve the problem.
