I did some research on the forums about this issue and tried the various fixes listed but I am still having issues. I have about 30,000 rounds loaded on this press, all 9mm and 45ACP. My primer bar has been sticking in both directions. It comes back but not quite all the way to drop another primer. I have to give it a little pull at the end. Then on the upstroke it sticks and I have to give it a little push.
I have taken it apart and fully cleaned it. I have used graphite powder to lube it. I have even placed a couple of shims (from a thin tin can) under the primer housing to test. The primer bar does show evidence of wear which I understand adds to the friction. The only thing I have not done yet which was listed as a potential fix is to rub and polish the primer bar with fine steel wool to help reduce the friction?
I thought about replacing the primer bar with a new one or calling Dillon support. I will try the steel wool prior to calling Dillon or ordering a new primer bar. Anyone have any additional thoughts?
