I really like the older 650's with all metal parts. Of my five MEC presses none comes close to the smoothness of the old 650 that a friend gave me.

Put em in by hand.

Paul's right Jerry. I have two old ones and one new one. Just when I think things are ticking along, they stop feeding. I use Paul's suggested method more often than not.

Sometimes more moving parts is not a good thing.

The old model has a piece of spring steel wire that when it contacts the base it lets one down and springs back to stop the second one. Why they thought they had to improve it I can't figure out. |
The new 200 tray works pretty much flawlessly, but even the old 100 tray can usually work pretty good. I've had good luck with them, but two friends both load by hand. They don't mind the extra time and claim there's less cussen.

For you 'old' guys, several years ago I picked up a big (5#?) unopened can of AL5. As a kid it was my favorite powder for duck loads in the 12 ga. Now I use it mostly for pistol loads. I will be sad when it is finally gone.

I have retrofitted both of my 9000g's to the new 200 capacity push feed primer system. While it takes a bit to get it adjusted properly, they have both performed well since then. I fairly often clean the tray and apply furniture polish to ensure a smooth flow of primers to the push ram.
I never did get the old chain and sweep arm to work reliably and cuss I did. Not any more. |
