Ok Machine, primers and powder are brand new. IMR 3031 powder seems clean and free of clumps.

Called Dillon today and they are sending new parts to replace everything that blew up, free of charge.

Machine is not misadjusted as far as I can tell, but the primer components seem to be very crude, ie have ridges in the holes of the rotator plate, the first primer tube has stuck primers in it and the shell holder plate seems to rock up and down about 0.010" to 0.015" with the screw about as tight as possible and still have the thing rotate. THis causes the bullet seating depth to vary about 0.015" depending on which side the shell holder is up to the seating die. I would not think a factory adjusted machine that is brand new would have these problems.
