    More Dillon exceptions.

    So I noticed today while actually using the press fully, that the primer feed arm sticks out. Like it goes to get a new primer then doesn't go back out. Just pulling it out and letting it snap forward seems to resolve it, but I can't figure out why it's happening and I don't see a troubleshooting step in the manual for it.

    I've got a video of it happening, if I can figure out how to upload it, I will, so y'all can see exactly what's happening.

    I'm assuming I messed up somewhere during the installation.

    I remember it being a bit intimidating at first, but that was 20 years ago and I’ve set it up and torn it down so many times I’d by lying if I said I knew what it was like to look at one like it was the first time.

    Hopefully you will have the video up soon and maybe I can offer an opinion.

    Couldn't figure out how to put it directly up to the forum.

    It's also not picking up any primers.

    This is why it was feeding primers. Primer tube installed on the press at the factory. Now, I'm starting to get mad. I'm about to let Dillon have it.

    Primer feed issue has been resolved. Gonna be making them send a replacement blue insert tomorrow because I had to change to the spare that came with the press. It's still getting stuck though.

    After replacing that jacked up blue fitting it seems to be functioning properly now.

    Some obscure video on another random forum showed me how to get the tube out. Going to call them tomorrow and see what they have to say, maybe they'll send a replacement fitting.

    What's with the beeping? Is that a bug or a feature?
