I'm trying to set up my primer feed for my LNL and I must be missing something.
I have the primer slide and feed all set up, but I can't get the slide to travel back far enough to line up with the primer drop tube.
I got the loader used and he had removed the primer slide and the return spring for it. I had to call Hornady for a replacement spring and it came today. I assembled everything and it runs alike glass (watched the Hornady and Bill Morgan Youtube videos). The thing is that the priming wire, that pushes the slide back to pick up the primer, doesn't push it far enough (about an inch short). The only way I can get it to push far enough is to detach the plastic retaining piece from the frame.
I've looked on Youtube for a video that addresses this...can't believe that I'm the only one who has ever had this problem...but can't find anything.
Called Hornady Tech Support, but they are gone for the weekend.
I would think the priming wire can be bent. I noticed the priming wire goes through a hole in the frame and there is a nut threaded to it, but loosening the nut doesn't release the wire to allow bending. I didn't really want to unbolt the press from the bench until I had a better idea of what needs to be done.
Thanks for any help with this
