    Tested some 300 Blackout supers with H110 and Barnes TAC TX blacktip bullets. Very accurate. These Blacktips like being pushed hard and fast in my rifle. 2447fps Avg SD 4.

    unboxed and setup my new RL550B.

    I think it is finally working properly. Been a struggle to get the primer actuating rod to function correctly, keeps sticking.

    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Loosen the allen heads on the primer housing . Pull handle down so the primer cup is in shell plate. Then tighten the screws. Another minor issue is the large roller on the primer slide not moving when and where it should. I use a quick blast of silicone spray on the pin.

    Back off the two screws that hold the primer assembly to the frame. Just a touch, like less than 1/8 of a turn.

    Also, try running some 440 grit and scotch-bright pad on the bottom of the primer slide assembly. Just knock off the high spots and polish whats left.

    Thanks for the tips. I did make sure the primer tube mount isn't too tight. The primer slide assembly is free and runs smooth, it's that dang rod from the primer tube to the rollers. It obviously rotates/twists just a bit during operation and it's binding in the guide/holder at the top connection at the block on the primer feed tube.

    I polished up the top portion of that rod, filed down the end circumference a bit, just a tiny bit of a tweak on it's angle and I think it's running ok and staying put now. It moves in and out in that block and just keeps hanging up there. The angle of that block on the tube obviously makes a difference too. Yall know what I'm talking about. That rod appears to be just sheared when cut and the end was a bit out of round.

    After test firing some rounds tomorrow, I'll get back on making some more. It appears to be operating ok at the moment after running it a 100 or so times while empty. Rod is moving, not binding and primer slide is doing it's thing.

    Set up my new Lee Auto Drum on my turret press. So far liking the drum, much easier to adjust compared to the auto disc measure.

    ^^^ Sometimes that rod gets tweaked and binds up. You need to look at the rod from the top and see where it's bent. Loosen that aluminum block that's located in the primer tube, and work the handle as you observe the rod where it binds. My 550 did the same thing and Brian Enos posted this fix. Works like buttah now.

    Alignment of rod and height of block if the bottom area is GTG. You could upgrade to a 650 and not have that issue.












    Or a 1050 if you listen to the dark side of reloading.
