Lee Loadmaster Priming / Powder Charge issues

[Azul69]

So, thanks to a lot of good advice I have solved my case issues. Now I can get onto asking about the annoying things that happen once in a while.

First, every so often I will get a primer that doesn't seat right, it goes in cockeyed and causes the shell plate to not rotate. This is annoying because i have to disassemble the shell plate and remove all the shells to free it.

Second, With the Lee Auto Drum powder measure. Every once in a while, i get a partial charge or no charge. This is annoying because i don't always catch it before seating a bullet and have had to start weighing my rounds after they are loaded to see if any are too light.

Third, the plastic clip on the Auto Drum, that prevents a double charge broke. Does anyone know if i can get a replacement, i'm sure i can get a stock one, that is stronger? And any tips to set it up so it works properly?

BTW if I had found the instructions helpful, i wouldn't have these problems! lol

Some powders do this At first I would give the measure a tap with my finger. Later I switched powders.
