Just got a Hornady LNL AP. I love the press except for one thing: I have to apply a ton of force in order to get primers to seat and even when I do they don't seat all the way. This only seems to happen on large pistol primers (.45 ACP).

I apply so much force that the bench top bends and I've had to re-tighten the bolts a few times.

Hornady already sent me a new ram, that seemed to help the issue a little.

The brass primes beautifully in my Lee hand press. If I take the primed brass that the Hornady press seats a little high and put it in the Lee press I can get it to seat just fine.

I've tried putting a coin under the ram to get it to seat higher but that's not the problem, the ram fully enters the primer pocket.

Any ideas before I end up having to send the entire press back to Hornady?
