Need help setting up a P.W. Metallic 2

[Jacks Grampa]

Setting up a new to me Metallic 2 and have some questions. The primer tube will not pick up primers and when I put one in the top it falls right through. Is there a spring detent at the bottom of the tube that I'm missing? I downloaded and printed the manual but the pictures are a bit fuzzy. I couldn't find a video on you tube. If anyone knows of one I'd sure like to know where it is. Thanks all, James

How is the Metallic 2 doing for you ? I assume you got this primer issue corrected . I am liking how the press mounts on top of the bench vs the Rockchucker style. I was thinking of doing pistol and small rifle cartridges on one . Take Care, John

I got it sorted out but am in the process of moving. I'll set it up when we get settled in Bozeman.
