Ahh, straight into the small primer cup!FFGomer wrote:I mainly shoot 9mm so that is what I am starting with.
The pencil is to properly space the case slider assembly. See page 3 of the manual, middle column. The sticks, one is used to space the feeder tube height off the case mouth and five are used to space/position the multi-tube feeder off the turret head frame.FFGomer wrote:#2 pencil and 6 popsicle sticks? I have to ask, what is that all about?
It is really smart to start with the press the way you have! That is applying the most important tool you have available to the press, your mind.FFGomer wrote:And thanks for the info RD, it is very helpful! I have started out using the press just to decap right now. I figured this would serve 2 purposes. 1) I wanted to decap prior to cleaning, not on the production run. And 2) I wanted to run the press excessively in a non-production role to get a good feel for how it operates and some common issues.
I believe that the "pencil and sticks will correct the issues you are seeing.FFGomer wrote:I have had a few cases come out of the case feeder sideways which causes it to bind up against the case currently under #1 and also drop another case out of the feeder. Any ideas what could be causing this? The directions from Lee for setting up the case feeder said to put a coin between the feeder and the slide but I found that this did not give adequate clearance so I raised the feeder up slightly.
