"There were cast from soft pot metal. The internal cam would become worn-out from rubbing the matching "knee" of the primer punch."

I've got at this point probably 20,000 to 25,000 primers through my Lee hand tool.

It's still going strong and showing minimal signs of wear because I keep it lubricated with a super lube.
