[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1196718, member: 3099"] Like said before, get you some spare parts. Mainly the case retaining spring, but I'd have an extra for all of them. The only issue I've had with mine is seating large primers. They feed just fine, it just has a hard time getting them seated below flush like they are supposed to be even when "rocking" the handle several times. I first noticed it with CCI primers which do seem to be the worst culprits, but even the notoriously soft Federals do it. Customer service sent me a new seating assembly along with some other goodies for no charge, but it didn't help. I can find absolutely nothing wrong with the press, the primer stud comes up well past the point needed to bottom out a primer in it's pocket. It's kind of baffling since the thing is as massive as it is, I think the ram is about twice the size of a Dillon 650. Oddly enough the CS tech I talked to said he sometimes has that trouble with small primers, but not large. :hithead: I don't have any issue with small primers even in crimped 5.56 cases. Overall it's a great press with several features I like alot better than the Dillon, but if I had it to do over again I'd most likely go Blue. But I sure like the 1000 230 grain .45 XTP's I got for free with it. :rubhands: [/QUOTE]
