Dillon 550B problem

[Bentwing]

I am a klutz, I just got back into reloading after several years. While trying to switch 45 auto rim I have screwd up the auto primer cup it seems too high to pick up the primers, or the tube is too low in the primer shield, i don't know as I can't see what is happening. Any help would be most appricated.

Best thing I have found for primer feed problems (which is pretty much the only problems I've had with dillons, and every other progressive press), is to take the priming parts all apart, then put it together again. Also its best to drop in the primer tube insert with the whole primer assembly off, so you can see if its sitting properly. (just dont pull the insert out when its full of primers, or at least prepare for the primers that will coming falling out)

is it the right tube..the one with a keyway on the plastic tip?
did u switch primer cups on the slide? if so,it's not pushed down far enough so the allen screw holds it correctly.
