APP Primer Feed Fix

Post by ekraus »

Got me an APP Deluxe to decap and prime.
Took a little time to get it working and the decaping works 99%. Only hiccup is cases upside down, small flash holes and Berdan.
That being said the priming operation is another issue. I got it working 90% with some extra gear.
I ordered some mini vibration motors. Attached 3 of them on the underside of the folding primer tray and finally got the primers to flow down the shoot.
Still the last 3 or 4 primers in the shoot will not feed
It's an ingenious concept the only problem is the primer feed. I have a friend that is going to machine a derlin channel 18" (should hold 100 SPP) that will fit into the primer feed shoot. The weight of the primers pushing into the shoot should make it more reliable.

Lee didn't have the primer system yet the last time I had my APP out. I've only used it to de-prime and size a few thousand pieces.

Got your APP Deluxe working 99% for decapping, but it sounds like the primer feed is the tricky part—hopefully, the derlin channel solves the last 3-4 primers issue!
