Need some advise. I set up a Dillon SDB I got after my father passed away. It's set up for 45LC right now. I'm set up for LPP. When loading, I'm having issues with Primers either flipping out, getting pressed in sideways or backwards (yes they were loaded correctly). I think what is happening is when Full Length Sizing the brass, it will sometimes "hang up" on the up stroke (ram moving down and lever up) and then will quickly move and the primer flips out of the ram/arm portion to get put in backwards or sideways or once, not at all cause it flipped out. If it gets flipped out or the primer comes apart it will stick the dispenser and 4-5 primers will come out and jam everything up. I've made sure the correct guide piece is in place an the tube is all the way down.
I've cleaned the priming system and found some old powder and residue. I'm also gonna pull the sizing die and clean it cause there is no telling how many hundreds if not thousands of rounds has been through it without cleaning. Any other suggestions to look for?
I also don't really care for the SDB and will be getting a 550 or 650 soon. Likely the 550 because I prefer to manually index it myself. Opinions on that as well?
