    I have both fillers, one large and one small, and they are giving me fits. The small primer filler operated well for months, but has become quite problematic. First of all, I have felt the need to take off the plastic cover because primers frequently turn at the top of the chute before dropping into the magazine tube, and I get tired of removing four bolts and a screw to remove the hung primer. Second, I just can't find a "sweet spot" on the rheostat control. The primers either move too slow and require several operating cycles to load 100 primers, or it vibrates so violently that the primers jump around like Mexican jumping beans. Dillon has been no help with any sage advice, so I am asking if anyone has any suggestions before I send the machine to Dillon for service.

    The other filler has a mind of it's own and changes speeds on it's own.

    Any suggestions?
