Went out to the shop today to load up some 45. This will be my second "run" on the new 650. The first run went pretty smooth. After about 50 rounds I stopped and filled the primer feed with about 50 primers. All seemed to be going well. After about 30 pulls of the handle after I filled the feed I stopped to check how the rounds looked...................it appears that the last 15 or so did not get a primer inserted. I checked the feed and the "tattle tale" rod was still indicating that there were plenty of primers in the feed. I had to start to play with the machine and "ram" the tattle tell rod in a few times to get primers to go through the feed mechanism. I was running CCI LP primers. I got everything back running for about another 15 rounds and then the same problem came up :banghead::banghead::banghead:...... I tried to take the feed tube off of the feed assemble to see if there was something in there that didn't belong but thought I'd check here first before I rip this thing apart. I ran some dummy rounds through the machine, about 40 of them and every few pulls the primers were hanging up in the feed mechanism. I could "clear" the jam up by tapping the tattle tale rod and pushing the primers down. I also noticed that if you have zero primers in the machine it takes 8 pulls to get them to the "insert" stage. Anybody have any experience with primer feed problems in the 650? Also is 8 pulls normal to get started with the primers in the correct position?
