I'm almost too embarrassed to tell you guys about this...
Sometimes those ah-ha moments are good & bad all at the same time.
Good, in that you finally figured it out, bad in that you kinda feel stupid for not figuring it out way before.
I bought a 2nd hand Dillon RL 550B around the end of last November.
Ever since, I've been whining about the priming system.
Either it wasn't dropping primers, or it would spit them all out at once.
About 2 weeks ago it spit all out & I didn't notice it & crushed a part called the Primer feed stop pin. It's a little white plastic pin.
Well I called Dillon & they sent 2 new ones.
But it only got worse
Until this morning.
I stopped & was looking at it, and it suddenly dawned on me, it was in backwards.:banghead:
There's a bolt holding a little trap door & the previous owner had ignored that & put it in from the other side.
I put it in the correct way & just reloaded 2 boxes & only once did it not drop a primer.
