While this isn't DW related, I thought maybe the knowledge bank here could help me locate a part. I've got an old Pacific DL-150 shotshell reloading press that is my dads. It is missing a spring under the primer plate. I'm having trouble finding much on the net as to where to get parts. Seems most searches come back to forums and discussion groups. Anybody know how I could locate a source?Â
Thanks

Not sure about direct replacement part--however, I'm very familiar with thoses presses. You should be able to use any heavy large diameter spring under the plate--not really critical size for the priming application. First thing that comes to mind is a valve spring from a lawnmower, just cut it to length. You may have the same spring under the wad plate.
I'll check my shotgun press (old pacific), and see what size is under mine.
