Trouble with hand primer
I just started reloading about a month ago. My hand primer got stuck today. I couldn't get it going. The pin that pushes the primer home got stuck in the "all the way up" position. I worked with for an hour..finally called the manufacturer...gonna send it back? it is a hornady."......hoping someone maybe had through a similar experience, could offer some suggestion as to what I had done wrong. The plastic round primer holder was stuck...I could not get it in the down position to take the hand primer apart? The hand primer worked fine during the first two sessions.

My guess is he posted because he was/is hoping someone could help him get his tool working. However, he obviously was hoping for too much; it seems he overestimated our good will.
Whenever the pin in my tool gets stuck, it is because of an alignment issue; i 'fix' the tool by wiggling things. Yup, i understand that is virtually no help, but what do i know? When things around here don't work, i try to make them work. When other folks things don't work, usually there isn't much i can do about it, so i normally don't make a suggestion, or a comment.

The OP has already stated he was new at handloading. I think he was round-about looking for suggestions to help solve his problem. He hasn't had much luck here, now, has he? Maybe some of us could lighten up here a little, and try to make him feel a little more comfortable. Not everyone is as experienced as a lot of us, and we were in his shoes at one point in time too. He may need fed questions so his situation becomes more clear. Ya think???

He has already gave ya'll the finger and moved on also expressed how a bunch of jerks here treated him; Sure is nice there are so many different gun forums with a hand loading section.
