Dillon casefeed issue - 9mm jamming / binding

[dieselrealtor]

I have contacted Dillon about it, they don't have an answer for me as of yet.

I have 2 other (older) feeders that do not have this issue.
Newer variable speed feeder, spp plate & no spacer underneath. Frequently get a case jammed between the plate & bowl as pictured, sometimes will clear & shoot several feet.

Anyone else experience this & have a resolution? I did some searching & the only thing I was finding on other forums was to get a DAA turbo plate.

I would first suggest that you close the door some, its interesting that your stainless door has a screw stop on it.
I have three Dillon case feeders and only two have that stainless door and neither of them have that thumb screw. Pictures to follow
The only cases I ever have that issue with are 7.62x39.
I wonder what Andy has to say. @Aszerigan

Dillon suggested for me to remove the stainless guide (tried that already), then suggested I use the DAA turbo plate.

The "official response", their machines were designed to be hand operated & that is why this is occuring (on a rollsizer).

I'm not sure the guy I talked to agreed with the engineer, but that is what came from their engineering dept.

I may fiddle with it a bit, cut a wooden block to put in place as a wedge to push any case riding on another out of the way.

What caliber is that?

I will be at my shop in a bit, "Steve Wilkos is on now" I will take pics of my first case feeder that came on the then new 650 machine.
When Im running 7.62x39 I bend a heavy paperclip so it pops out any cases that are not rim first when crossing the drop opening. I put it a few inches past the opening, if not in maybe 2 min all the cases will be in backwards and noting will drop in the case tube.

I don't think I ave ever heard of this DAA Turbo plate???

But I am getting ready to call Dillon and order two and maybe three of that slotted door you have. I finely found them on Dillons parts page for the 750.

This is 9mm, I may try to do a paperclip first before making sawdust.

Thats really interesting now.

Root cause, case on top

 

[dieselrealtor]

This reduced the jamming by 80 to 90%

Here's my two newer feeders. This one is set for 7.62x39



And this one is 223

My first feeder from early 90's?
Has this inside and no adj door.




That white block is adj back and fourth.

 

[Creedmoor]

Is the white block mounted in your feeder like the pic above?

 

[dieselrealtor]

Mine didn't come with a block, one guy at Dillon said they didn't recommend it for 9mm, I don't know that I agree.

May pull one from one of my other feeders & see how the next batch runs.

Thats interesting, Thats what I would try. if it works call Dillon and tell them one of yours is loose and worn out. When I called about ordering a few of these stainless tab assy she was going to give me all of themI asked for. I laughed and then ordered a few decapper ends for a 223 carbide sizer.
Two replacement pins and shipping were 26 bucks. I believe I paid for all of it to be shipped.

My 1100 in 9mm has case binding issues. The whole feeder plate gets bound up a lot. Just jammed and it stops feeding. Need to find the time to get up in there and see what’s going on.

Curious, do you have the wedge installed?

Not sure, I'll check.

Andy, what series/age case feeder is it?

 

[Aszerigan]

Andy, what series/age case feeder is it?

Its the brand new, current version - variable speed, etc. Came with the Dillon 1100 I got in Jan.

All three of mine have that white block on the feeder. I've never had the problem with 9mm with any of my feeders. I have problems with 7.62x39 jamming up like the op's 9mm but upside down with the neck first.

Blackout does the same thing if you don't adjust the case drop door properly.
