Banging my head on the wall, run out of things to try, hoping somebody has an idea. I "think" what's happening is the bullet dropper bearings are snapping into the lube groove on the bullet (they are coated, so no lube in the groove). Basically, it will drop 2 or 3 bullets....then it won't "lift" up...the case moves up inside the dropper die without any resistance. I've played with the adjustment endlessly, no change. I've done the beveling on the dropper die itself. I've run it with the clip in the top and bottom, and with the bearings in both the top and bottom position. I put the DAA spring assembly on it. No change in operations. Working with Mark 7 support as well, but I think they are out of ideas. Am I dead in the water with this bullet style? Or is there something I haven't tried yet? Pic on the left is with toolhead bottomed out. You can see the top hasn't been pushed up at all. I could run another cycle, and it will work fine for 2 or 3 cycles...then do this again. The bullet is a 200 grain Hi-Tek coated RNFP. The dropper assembly is the MBF Pro 45/44.
