Hello,

Got my new Classic Turret press set up and it works great except for the Safety Prime on the last primer. The last one won't come out or even load into the area in the plastic where it's supposed to sit when it's ready to go. Sometimes the last 2 have problems. I have to pull the primer tool off the press and shake it to get it out and end up putting the primer into the ram prime manually. Seems there's not enough pressure with only 1 or 2 in there. Had similar problems with the Lee Auto Prime II. That was a bad one and looks like they don't make it any more.

What are you guys doing to handle this or is there something wrong with it and need to get a replacement part from Lee? Don't see this problem mentioned in some of the Youtube videos I've seen.

Thanks

I have 2 sets...all four do the same thing.
I suspect that it is a quirk of the design.
I just add more primers.

Mine do it too, I just put in a few extra or dump the last couple out and use my fingers.

Just watch the level so it doesn't get to that point, and fo-gid-about-it.
