After seeing many glowing reports on here and other forums, I bought a classic turret from midway. Then I realized that it would be better if I got the safety primer feed and the pro disc with extension.
I spent several hours yesterday trying to get the primer feed to work. Out of maybe a hundred tries, I got 3 or four primers of each size to actually get put on the priming lever! The rest went on the floor or didn't feed at all!:banghead: The whole shebang almost went out the door into a considerable snowbank!
The disc measure works great! The first powder I tried was WC-820, which is an extremely fine ball powder. I expected it to leak a little, was not disappointed when it did. It was VERY CONSISTENT! though. I know it will work better with "normal" powders.
Now don't take this wrong, I have a LOT of Lee products, ALL of them work as advertised. I hate to have something kick my butt like this, I'm determined to get it to work. Others have them, they work, so should mine.
Is there any tricks to try? It appears to be lined up properly, and mounted correctly, it just seems to not go into the press far enough to place the primer in the cup. I tried to make it work out of the press, hand holding the primer lever and feeder in alignment, it works every time!
