Help with adjustments on hornady lnl

[Craig T]

Anyone real good at adjusting these things? I can't seem to get the primers to go in the brass w/o having to lift up the ram a tad and move the brass. I have tried adjusting the pawls. But just can't seem to get it. I have a new shell plate and primer set.

Is the shell plate clicking into place properly by the time it returns to the bottom? Or do you have to manually adjust it? Also, what cartridge are you trying to reload?

 

[Craig T]

Yes it's clicking into place. Loading 9mm

I took a video of it. But can't post on here from phone

Hey Craig, out of curiosity I simply googled "hornady lock n load primer feed problem" (or something close to that) and several videos popped up. Would one of these address your problem?

From a former Hornady user to a current Hornady user I'll tell you that the best thing I ever did with my L&LAP was trade it for a Dillon. With the Hornady I spent too much time tinkering and adjusting the machine. On the Dillon I just load ammo.

Seriously, OP let me know if you want to come over some time and load on my Dillon just to see the difference. I've used both, and I wont go back to Hornady.

I know that doesn't answer your question... but I wanted to throw it out there.

I have googled many times... it's seems that it is sooo close to being right I just can't get it 100% tuned in. I may have to check out Dillon, but want to give this hornady my best first.
