P/W Auto Shell Feeder Updates

[Jim White Keymaster]

Sue at P/W (a good looking and very helpful gal) sent me some “special” washers for the Hull Feeder.  Seems that a past employee at the factory told the shipping department not to ship the new shell feeders with one special washer.  She thought it was not needed, but with all the phone calls I’ve been getting, Wayne at P/W  (the GM and owner), is offering them to all.

This washer is placed up on the shell seating post, just under its head.  This in turn moves the aluminum shell feeder block down a little bit more than ¼”, which then permits the block to more easily shove the shell into place.  I’ll take a photo of this in a second and attached it wherewith.

Just  FYI….as it moved it down that little bit that made their chain JUST a hair to short.   Right at full stroke the chain ran out of run even with adjusting nut at tip of the threads.    It causes excessive torque on the indexing plate.    You NEED a little longer chain to get into the range of adjustment.    They sent me one for the Patriot and it had plenty to adjust.     Keep in mind it worked with shorter chain but barely and caused excessive twisting.   You would not want to run it that way.
