I don't reload much in the Summer if I can help it because my bench is in the garage and humans will expire after 5 seconds in my garage in the Summer. Ok, not really, but it's damned hot. I try to do all my reloading for the year in the Winter and Spring.
Today is a beautiful day, sunny and mild. Thought I would start loading up some of my 40S&W gaming load since I ran out last month.
Spent last night and the early part of this morning cleaning it up, and adjusting all my dies and what not.
I went to seat the first primer, and nothing. Ok, try it again. No primer. What the heck?
The plastic piece that holds the rod that the primer "slider" uses to move back and forth is broken, so the rod is just flopping around and not letting the slider make it's full length of travel.
Damnit.
I'll be calling Hornady on Monday.
I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a hand primer. I could have gotten a couple hundred rounds done today, and that would get me through the next match. I'm going to pick one up.
UPDATE:
Hornady came through. Part is in the mail with no charge to me.
