Thanks Highboy
Hey bud, it's good to see you. Highboy
Thanks for the info on chasing the length. I had that problem when I started.
Did you see that die assembly move when he got to the top of the stroke???!!! WOW, that's no way to expect any accurate repeatability. HEADS-UP: Ditch the new Lee bushings with the rubber O-Ring and use the split bushing with the Allen-Head screw!!! That will lock the die to the busing regardless of the slop in the threads. I really wish LEE would STOP TRYING TO MAKE CRAP SO CHEAP AND DO THE RITE THING!!! I don't care about the extra $.50. STOP CHEAPING-OUT LEE!!!! Most of us are ok with paying a little extra for the quality, its still way cheaper than team green/blue or....the other RED press that starts with a "H"
Forester dies adjust with movement. Does that mean they don't have accurate repeatability? So far, everything I have shot off this press is plenty accurate. Welcome to my channel. Highboy
@@76Highboy Not at all...what I am saying is that Dies should be rock solid in the press and not flex/move. If you have great luck with the Forester more power to you!
@Joel geiser I don't own a Forster. My point is that the Forester operates with a floating die and is highly accurate. So, saying that Lee is not accurate due to the floating die is not really correct. I have been reloading with Lee dies for decades, and their dies are consistently accurate. As far as their design on all of their equipment, everything I have ever used works great. People run Lee down, much like yourself, but the fact is I highly doubt that other companies could have as good of a product as Lee if they had to match the Lee price point. My hats off the Lee. Highboy
@@76Highboyo Thankyou so much !!
Also you can't lock the bullet seater so it's going to move during rotation.I changed that die with a rcbs.
When I started reloading a few years back, I spent a lot of time chasing the length and was getting frustrated with the process. Pretty much over that now. I like your advice to load 20 or so and get an average. As for powder check die, I went with the double alpha powder check and then the Mr mini bullet feeder, both of which I think work very well to finish off the setup process.
I use a previously loaded cartridge to get seating close.
Can you mount the press lever/handle for left hand use?
Yes. Highboy
High boy when you initially put the die into the press with the lock bushing how do I seat the die body before I turn my seating adjustment knob do I wanna touch the casing or the shell plate or.... I'm using the 223 kit for this opress
What do your instructions say?
@@76Highboy nothing except using position 5-6 for I I want to crimp and size in 1 go nothing about how far to screw it down oddly I'm seeing if I missed somthing
Did you adjust the bullet seating die body to remove any of the belling of the case mouth??
Oh.....and use a small amount of anti-seize compound on both the die and the breech-lock bushing threads. You have dissimilar metals as well as really thin/delicate threads on the bushing. Should have been steel bushing and steel press head, not cast BS.
STOP CHEAPING-OUT LEE!!! Its made in China, you can still produce it that way and make a profit, we'll pay a little more.
And WTF with the base of the press??? The mounting is not conducive to the full support of the press with regards to the plane/forces imparted by the stroke of the ram/handle assembly. Have you guys watched all the videos out there? Watch closely........every single video I see shows the press moving on its mount when at the bottom of stroke. Flexing never adds to accuracy. I paid $80 for my inline fabrication mount, what a joke! The press hangs-out over the mounting plate so far that the sheet-steel plate it mounts to does not offer enough strength to keep the assembly from flexing.
Why did Lee make the base/footprint of the mount so freaking small and wonky? Cast aluminum, more holes in it than Swiss-Cheese, odd mounting footprint, no linear bearing between the ram and the base metal, no grease-zurks anywhere....
Disposable POS
I use the breechlock with the screw for some things, but I don't have any issue with the rubber o-rings. Lee has incorporated the o-ring for decades, and I have never had issues with them. In fact, I have run my Lee ammo on my Ransom handgun rest, and their ammo is petty consistent and accurate. Highboy
@@76Highboy Thats good to hear, looking forward to trying again with LEE. I lost my mind with my Loadmaster and finally took it off the bench. I couldn't keep it running, and when I did some rounds and come back to it the next day. it wouldn't run. I nicknamed it the "crunch-bang"
@@joelgeiser675apparently didn't read the instructions to use 30W motor oil to lube the ram and swivel piints.
