Ok, so I have my Dillon 650 set up and running great. After getting to know how the machine works everything seems to be working.....till now. I have ran about 1200 rounds through it and on occasion I would get a sideway or an upside down primer. One in every 100 or so. Well I set out to run 500 after I found a nice IDPA load. I blew the machine out with canned air to remove any powder, filled the primer tube and started running it. Damn, 2 sideways primers in a row.
I noticed the shell plate did not line-up straight with the primer magazine. It looks like the edge of the primer is nicking the side of the shell plate on the way up and getting stuck sideways. I stopped everything, took the shellplate off and removed the primers. Everything is very clean but I cleaned it again.
I re-assembled it and cycled the machine by the lever, manually indexing the shellplate, primer magazine and the primer assembly still does not line-up.
I don't see any way of adjusting it. The shell plate indexes via a divet for the metal ball and the primer assembly does the same.
After I assembled everything I ran 200 rounds and got 13 sideways and 3 up-side primers. This sucks, I am sure I am doing something wrong. Thanks for your help, Sammy
