Dillon 9mm die issue UPDATE Post#36

Did you check your decap pin for damage? I'd also take a look at the shellplate/base to ensure there's nothing blocking the entire primer from being ejected.

Otherwise, it might just be that batch of brass?

"that batch of brass"

Respectfully I doubt that since he's got a variety of headstamps.


Looks like sigguy, is right, either pin damage or escape hole plugged.

Have you tried removing the shell plate? Maybe dirty or damaged and not centering properly.

I'd also try a different de-capping pin assembly if you have another die set.

Just guessing though.

Dillon 9mm die issue

I suspect the primers...the primer is fracturing / shearing. Are you sure those primers are not glued in? I know it is police brass, but could they be reloads with primers glued in?


Here is a similar problem just like yours...

Glued (Loctite) in primers...

The only time i have seen a large number of "ringers" like that was when the fired cases had been wet. I found corrosion was glueing the primer in.

I run several RL1050's and never seen that.

1) How about trying a new decapping pin on the die?
2) Re-adjust the die?
3) If that doesn't work a different die?

Please keep us posted.

I have had that happen in the past with several different pistol brass that had been wet tumbeled.
I call them ringers. I believe they are caused from the primers more of less being stuck possibly from the wet tumble process some water gets in there and seizes them.

Looks like the old primers are the problem - they are falling apart rather than being pushed out.
