SDB Primer Misfeeds

Refer to the manual and check the cup height etc., be sure the primer tube tip isn't broken. The adjustment for where the cup is under the primer tube, I found easiest to do off the press so you can just see it. Beats tweaking you finally get it  A little cleaning wouldn't hurt her either. 

 

The spring may have broken as well.

First glance: that press needs a cleaning.  All that debris can cause malfunctions.

You really need to clean that press up.

Does misfeed mean it fails to feed one, or is it flipping primers over onto their side or upside down?

Flipping the primers.

I was having issues with mine flipping / picking up small primers.  The tip was getting damaged and I was going through new tips like crazy.   I finally called Dillon and they were very helpful.   They recommended that I adjust the primer cup height to 1.404".  It worked.

 

refer to section 10.2 in the downloadable manual in the "Troubleshooting section (5)"

Another thing to check is alignment of the primer cup with the hole in the shell plate.  I have had the same thing happen when the cup catches a little on the way up to the cartridge and the little bounce of the cup flips the primer.

Adjusted the primer cup to spec and replaced the blue tip.  All good now.
