Funny that the price hasnt changed in over a decade, checked recently for nostalgic reasons. Good times. Anyone's trys this s**t nowadays - there will be lovely men in masks politely tapping on your door and you won't be flying anywhere for a while.

bentaz wrote:Thanks again mate found that and tightened it right up, have to wait till i shoot a couple off to try it as just before i read your post i deprimed resized the cases i had on the other press. But I'll take your word it works.
Sorted another of the problems I had with it, whichwas the loaded rounds not feeding out of the shute properly. I first tried just tweaking the little wire arm to get it to kick them out sooner so they'd fall out with more momentum but it didn't really help so i bent up a better one, its still not perfect but it works heaps better.

bentaz wrote:Yeah that would be about right, any faster and it flicks to much powder out of the cases as it index's, also I'm yet to use the primer feeder on it so that might need some tinkering too as I've heard they can be dodgy.
