What happens when a small primer case slips through? Does it jam up the machine? just crushes the new primer? spills powder? Nothing? Serious question because I just don't know.

I do tumble with the old primer in, its too big of a pain to clean out primer pockets. Learned that the hard way. I tumble in media and a bit of NuFinish car wax in and tadaa clean brass.


Every once in a while I do get a small primer mixed in. When cycling the press It will size, deprime and bell the case just fine. But when you try to prime a small primer case it will just abruptly stop the process. So all you do is remove the case and keep going its really no big deal. its a show stopper but not really a big deal.

I plan on making a video soon, was going to this morning but water heater stopped being hot so new install is this morning.
