small primer problems
Quote from Reloader on October 25, 2013, 3:03 amI have been having problems with the small primer feeding. When I use the large pistol primers I have no problems. Using the small primer feed it works once in a while. sometimes the primers end up on the primer slide behind the primer cup other times the don't feed at all. I took the assembly apart and measured the distance, it was 1.200 I reset it to 1.220 and reassembled the unit. I put in six primers and it still didn't feed reliably. When the primer slide is all the way back the white plastic pin appears to travel back. What am I doing wrong? I have loaded around 800 rounds with small primers with no problems. This is a new problem.

The blue end (14024) of the primer tube appeared to be open farther than it should. I replaced the blue primer feed end then loaded 35 9mm shells with no primer miss-feeds. I am not sure what happened unless it got damaged when I switched to large primers for 45 ACP. It must not be uncommon as I found three replacements in my spare parts box! I love my blue press and have done more shooting this summer than I have in years,

Problem is small primer tube is to big and allows primers to turn inside the tube. Same size as large tube.
