The rotary primer pickup disk can only stick if something gets wedged in it or it isnt installed correctly. Are we talking 550 or 650?
400rds on a 550 is simple, 1 pull every 9sec, pretty leisurely. With a case feeder on a 650, 700rds is easy with loaded primer tubes. Pre load the tubes, you can do 800rds / hr. There are two reasons to own a good progressive; speed of production & reduced work load. If you have limited time to reload, you need to spend some more $$$ and get a good progressive.
