lee loadmaster woes

MDman · October 30, 2007, 07:36 PM

I am new to reloading and looking back I should have just gone with a simple single stage press.

I have tried and tried, and I cannot get the priming system to work. it some how wedges the primer between the primer seater and the white plastic part.

should I sell it?
or should I keep trying to fix it?

Two things come to mind right off. your indexing is slightly off. there is some flashing in the primer trough or it's cover. Take it apart an ensure everything is clean with no extra plastic you might even use a fine file or polishing cloth to smooth it out.

For more help I suggest you PM Benedict1 here on TFL
