Dillon 550 throwing spent primers

[martinb3152]

Hello, I have a problem with loading that when I deprime my cases, I get a bunch of spent primers spitting out and laying on the the shelf of the press and not into the cup. Then when I pull the handle down it gets stuck due to spent primers laying on the press. What could be causing this? It seems like they start to accumulate with 1-3 primers and then drop out of the metal chute below the shell plate. A lot of them don't even dispense in the cup hanging on the press. The shoot all over on the floor. Anyone have any ideas?

I had this problem when running .40SW recently. I admit it goy annoying. I cleaned up around the shell plate and primer assembley. I also made sure the small catch mouth was working and opening properly to drop the spent primer into the primer bucket. Now it works fine. I adjusted the small pin and put a little drop of oil so the catch mouth was working correctly.

My problem developed over time, so I figured it was caused by dirt and/or loose powder on the press.

Clean things up and oil a little and make sure the primer assembley is moving smoothly.

Makes sense, thanks.
