    primers in the loading tube?

    So I have a Dillon 550B, and one of the primers got stuck in the loading tube(the one on the machine that holds the primers while you load) after 250 rounds. I gently tried to clear it but it still left some burrs in my loading tube. Now the tube does not consistently feed properly. Is there any way to help reduce the chances of this happening again? I am using federal large pistol primers. Also is there anyway to "de-burr" the broken tube? Lastly I did call Dillon and they are sending me a new tube...FREE! So a big 2 thumbs up for Dillon!

          Throw away the tube.
          It's not worth the hassle.
