Casey: My SDB experience is that the powder-drop
& bell station is way aggravating. It must be
adjusted just so. Getting the right bell, and having
the powder slide end it's travel just when the handcrank
ends it's travel, can be like trying to nail Jello to
the wall. But I have never seen it mangle cases.
Char923 brings up a good point. I have learned to
never tighten the shell plate bolt. I just screw it in
almost all the way, then a couple-few cranks on the
handle tightens the bolt, just the right amount, for me.
I hope you figure out the problem, and post the
solution for the rest of us SDB owners.
I assume you do remove the shell plate and clean out all
the crap that accumulates under it, occasionally? I use
a vacuum cleaner and q-tips to do this, regularly.
