Primer feed problem still!
I drilled the hole in the reduced thickness slide off center so I redid it and got it on center and we will see if that solves the issue!

I did some minor adjustments and the dead primers went through flawlessly!
I only did 8 in a row, next time I will try 100.

Lyman or RCBS may take a little more effort.

reamer size.
