45acp side ways primers need help

[skyline]

Hey calguners I have been reloading for a couple of years now on my dillon 650xl .
I switched over from 9mm to 45acp and some of the primers started going in side ways it has never happened to me before any idea why

you forgot something/missed a step - start over

I have had a few of these in other calibers. But a rarity. Reload your primer tube?
Did you accidentally load spp when you needed Lpp?

Did you change from small pistol primer seater to large pistol like we do in single stage presses?

I am using large pistol primers and I made sure I changed tunes the only thing that is deffernt is that I am hand loading the primers into the tube because for some reason the frankford arsenal primer loader keeps getting primers stuck in the hole before the tube so I just loaded them manually

I believe I did because I have the 2 deffernt assembly one for small primer and one for large pistol but I will brake it down and check

The seater screws into the bottom of the shellplate platform.



There are two different sizes, one for small rifle/pistol and the other is for large rifle/pistol.
You unscrew the small one and install the large one.

Put the small primer seater in your red press with large primers and report back what happens...
Better yet, take ALL the primers out of the press and load some rounds and let us know if they leak powder.

make sure when changing calibers that YOU re adjust the case holder in thingy at the primer station it adjusts with a allen wrench to just lightly push or hold the case for the primer that may cause sideway primers aswell as primer pocket that is tite or has a crimp.
