So I was finally going through the odds and ends that came with my Hornady Ammo Plant, and with the die wrench... what is the open end for? There's a hole that's obviously for nuts on the top of some dies, especially the decap pin on sizer dies. There's a box end that's for the lock rings... but the open end is too small for this?

The Groove pin (part #10 on the exploded view) on the Case Activated Powder drop + powder measure. This dinky little pin seems to work itself out on me all the time. It's got a groove that would seem perfect for a cotter pin or other fixture of some kind to bookmark the "wings" on the other side. Anyone run into this issue before, and have a solution?

The missing allen wrench. I see to have an allen wrench that came with the machine for every allen screw but one... the one on the turning block for the case feeder, part #20 on the exploded view a 1/4-3/4 Shoulder Bolt. Anyone know what size this is so I can go buy one?
