Pulling my hair out with these 45's

[Deadon]

I loaded lots of long gun's so I decided to reload my pistol rounds. My primmer feed is sticking. So I measure the large pistol primers and the large rifle primers. The pistol's are taller and causing the system to stick. Im using the LNL I must be missing something.

You're trying to load large rifle primers into a large primer pistol case?

[Dark Mod]

I havent had this problem, ive used all 4 kinds of primers without a problem

No Im trying to load large pistol primers into 45 cases. The primers are Winchesters.

Man I just dont get it. Thats why I busted out the Caliper to Measure the difference in the two Large primers because I know the Rifle primers work. Shouldn't the be the same ?

[Deadon]

Never mind I have a bent primer feed tube.

Never mind I have a bent primer feed tube.

I hate when that happens, I don't mind so much when it happens to you, but I really hate when it happens to me

Did you perhaps over tighten the hex head screw that holds the primer feed tube assy to to the press? This can cause the primer shuttle to bind. A little One Shot dry lube may help things slide smoother also.

[Dark Mod]

Well that sucks, any idea how you bent it?

[Deadon]

Man I have no idea. If I take the plastic top off the feed tube it kicks to the side. It hits the protective tube that surrounds the feed tube. I took the protective tube off and had just the feed tube on and hey it worked. Put the protective tube back on and sure enough its wont feed. Im going to try and fix it while I have a new one on the way.
Ive had on and off problems with primers and I think this might have been the cause.

Watch out for the small pistol primed .45 ACP cases while using a progressive press set up for large pistol primers.

Thanks, yeah Ive been looking. So far I havent been able to find any others but the rounds I shoot. Ive found about 1000 rounds of .223 in the last few months and others but no .45's.
