After loading about 200 rounds, my primer feeder stopped advancing, it would click forward but then pop back.  If I take of the shell plate i can get it to work for a few cycle's but then it stops again.

Any idea's?


It was to late in the day for me to head to dillon.  So that will be my first stop on Monday.

Something is likely jamming the action like some spilled powder under the wheel or a primer that is damaged.  Don't force it or you could get a chain fire of all your primers.  Rather, remove the shellplate and then the primer assy and check for a bad primer or gunk in the works.  You'll need to watch out as you'll leave a line of primers on the press and those in the tube will spill out if you lay the assy on it's side.  I'd just dump them all out into your primer tray (for reuse) and make sure the wheel will turn freely and the base under the wheel is clean, then reassemble, reload the primers, and give it a go again.
