I had to adjust the carrier on my lee loadmaster so the index flipper would contact the frame and advance the carrier. Now the primer trough does not contact the agitator bumps on the frame and the primers don't slide down the trough due to lack of agitation. Anyone know how to adjust the position of the primer trough so it hits the agitator bumps?

Russs, you might take a look over at http://loadmastervideos.com/. There is a lot of good stuff for Loadmaster and priming/indexing issues, etc. Personally, I'm not using the primer setup on mine, opting instead to decap/cap on a single stage.

I don't think you're adjusted correctly.

Russs,

The bridge/tongue on the shell plate carrier that the case feeder rides on should be at perfect 90 degree right angle the front frame member. If it is not you have over adjusted the shell plate carrier.

The square index rod and the index flipper (black plastic toggle on the end of the index rod) are 2 separate parts it is possible for them to be out of adjustment in relation to each other.

Lee has several good video's on setting up the Load Master, they are worth looking at.
