went down to loading room and rebuilt the LEE press just a bit ago... everything went together just like it should and now i have two complete presses on the bench again....    funny how something like that bothers a guy until it's fixed....     i like the way the LEE press dispenses the used primers into the little hole in it..   i drilled a hole in the bench and keep my waste basket under it to catch the primers as they are removed...   thanks again LEE................................

I have a LEE Progressive and am glad to hear about their Customer Service. Where there any warning signs that there was a problem with your frame?

there was really no problem with the press frame.... i think i came across a mil case with a crimped in primer....  it got really tough to push then it just popped!   i will use the cast press for this knd if work from now on...  the LEE reloader press does a good job on my regular .38 spl-.357 magnum- and 9mm work but a 30.06 case with a crimped in primer is tough on em..............
