Primer ignition on my press...

[Mac Attack]

I'm glad you were not injured. I has a primer go off on me many years back and it startled the heck out of me. I purchased the same part on eBay and it had given me not a single problem in the 7 years it has been on my 650. I don't recall making any adjustments but If I did it was probably to index the plate and make sure the primers were centered in the shell plate.

Yeah, I dont blame the part. I blame my inexperience with the press. I shoulda waited a few sessions before I started modding it.

rookie LOL I blew my primer tube twice when SMALL primer 45 came out. I was not hip to that and kept pushing the Large primer into a small hole BOOM.

Dillion replaced tube and small parts both times free.

Congrats on your first desk pop.


Jk

Glad your ok. Blowing primers is my biggest worry when I reload. Hope it never happens to me.

I bought the same cam-pin w/bearing.

I measured the old one to determine how deep to seat the roller variant, press to tip.

I then measured the new one, as I screwed it in, and had it match the distance where it actuated with the prior, tip of bearing bottom to press.


I have only set one primer off in the past, and it was because I forced it, and the pocket was crimped... my bad... but this was before getting the bearing upgrade, spent primer shute to water bottle upgrade, unspent primer collector upgrade, and such.
