This has changed my life! Thank you! No more powder spillage! I can't overstate how easy this was and how quickly it fixed the most annoying part of my press.
Absolutely best tip ever....Just got my lock n load few months back. Always had some powder spillage with 45 and 9mm but nothing major. Then went to 380 and the spillage was crazy, called the factory after reading some tips on youtube from inserting some felt to cutting some grooves in the sub plate. I'm sure either one of them would work but figured I'd call anyway. They said don't do any of the tips I told them about and not to worry, spillage is normal..(nonsense) I was about ready to start grinding groves when I stumbled onto your post....Took just a few minutes and works perfectly I don't understand why the company agents don't tell you about it...I'd bet they know about it. Anyway, thank you...
Thanks for the tip! Worked perfectly on my 9mm shell plate, It seemed like I was spilling more powder than was being left in the cases. Tried your tip and no more hard indexing and powder spillage, thanks again.
My ball bearings were protruding .030". When punching them down, make sure to compress the spring with your punch first before you tap, or you will just think you are moving it while just bouncing the spring. Now my ball bearings are .015" protruding and everything works great. I did need to readjust my left pawl a bit now that the ball bearing is not snapping it over. Be aware I was using a dial indicator to check these dimensions and the indicator spring is stronger than the ball bearing spring so measure carefully. I was loading 9mm.
