| I picked up my first Ponsness Warren 800B re-loader this week at an estate sale. Everything looks to be in great shape but it will not index. Any suggestions as to where to look for the problem? |

| A little more information would be helpful. When you pull the handle is everything tight and the plate just not line-up correctly or??? |

| I had some adjustment issue for primers on a PW I got on ebay, after messing with the book for a bit I called PW and a fellow there spent 30 minutes plus on the phone with talking through it till I got it. Call them on a wednesday mid morning and see how they might help |

Hello,
It will not index because the primer pawl has not been released.
Push back on the handle a bit harder and listen for the CLICK
That is the pawl releasing to allow the turret action to happen.
Please report back on this fix
Mike
p.s. other fun reading
