I am having a problem with my primer feed... I am gonna try to describe this as accuratly as possible so please be patient.
Lets start out by assuming there is no cases in the shell plate and the primer feed tube is full of primers. when you cycle the press the small primer shuttle rides back and picks up the first primer out of the primer tube. Small primer slide then slides forward to where it is ready to feed a primer into a primer pocket (But remember we have no cases present in the shell plate). The press is now in the normal postion with press handle in the up position. The small primer nut with spring and insertion device is tight to the subplate. When I go to cycle the press again (Pull the handle down) the primer that is in the small primer slide drops down about 1/8th of an inch and then asvthe slide tries to move back it locks up because the primer that is in the slide can not get over the little lip that is there where the nut with the spring and primer seater screws in. Is there any adjustments that anyone could recommend or am I SOL until I can call hornady on monday???? Please help...

Sorry for the long description but I tried to describe it as vividly as possible...
