Case feeding issue cam lock Pro

Post by Shooterrick2020 »

This is my last issue to resolve where this press is concerned. I'm using the automatic case feeder and collator. From time to time the slide will pop or jump however you want to describe it and kick a case over on its side. A minor nuisance yes but a nuisance all the same.

I have inspected the installation closely and decided to put a little dry graphite Lube on the rails of the slider. . I operated it multiple times watching from all angles and it appears to be running smoothly. The only other thing I can think of is when a case begins to be pushed out from underneath the case above sitting on it, it drags enough on the case sitting on top of it to create a bind. I have yet to try it with cases in the feeder since I lubed it but was curious if anyone else has seen this and what was their solution.

Not sure about the cam lock pro but when the APP does that it's one of two screws on the slider rail that is too loose OR too tight.
