Star Reloaders / Re: Interference in the expander/primer stage
« on: May 05, 2014, 06:35:18 pm »
I'll get with Dave to see if he can "fix" that die for me. The kicker works fine, but not with the taper crimp in that last station.
To wrap up thisproblem learning experience. What LOOKED to me like an interference at the base of the casing was in fact interference at the mouth of the case. By a combination of measuring factory ammo, measuring the ammo that didn't feed, and the loaded case gauge , and a lot of caliper measurements I finally found the root cause.
The benefit is, I know far better how each stage affects the case sizing having done before/after measurements at various stages.
Thanks to all for the hints... and I learned more about my Stars...and Dave is building me a new die to fix this.
