Double Alpha Primer-Pro - Troubleshooting

[@robertgrebowski3707]

sent mine back , really annoyed that more QC wasn't done . Too bad a company like DA is more concerned about making a dollar then having another quality product out there .

I just unboxed my primer-pro this morning and had trouble (like other comments here) with the primers not dropping through the hole and into the primer tube. It wasn't a primer tube fitment issue since the primers were getting stuck even if the primer tube wasn't there. I noticed the range of motion for the hammer was fine, but seemed like there was friction causing the hammer to move slower and not really slam the primer over the hole. I remove the torque screw (#9 size) that holds the hammer arm in place, located right next to the sensor. I lifted off the hammer arm and applied a little silicon at the to pivot point to make the hammer move easier. The silicon made a big difference. Once in a while I had one primer still hang up over the hole, I flicked the orange cover right over the primer with my finger and the primer dropped in. I also noticed a small hole in the orange cover over the the primer drop hole, bet you that's there so you can poke a primer with a paper clip.... just saying. Just in case you are interested I was loading CCI 500 (SPP) during this initial set up. Good luck

The biggest issue with this thing is the cheap shiny plastic that is used in its construction causing primers to cease all motion if even a tiny bit of primer dust is present. I spent 3 hours trying to tune mine to fill winchester #41 primers and got 1 and a half tubes actually filled in that time. Unfortunately they use the same plastic material in everything they make now. My first generation Mr. Bulletfeeders have been great. The plastics are machined delrin or acetal but the new materials are terrible.

How about troubleshooting the brass marker too.

Every 100 primers into the tube I have 5 to 6 primers up side down😢😢. How to avoid this ?

Received my order and the primers come down the ramp but the don’t drop into the tube. I’ve adjusted the collar depth of the magnet but still a problem.

Just got mine tonight. Damn thing will load around 20 primers and then the collator stops and the light is solid red. Have to take all the primers out and start all over. Checked everything I know to check and it does the same thing again...HELP please

Polished the ramp and lightly sanded drop hole. Better now.

First 20 or so primers had half upside down. Brand new out of the box. Really not impressing.
