Well today I hit a milestone of sorts, wore out a Lee Hand Press. Yeah not the most ideal thing, but it always did relax my hand and wrist muscles. Especially with a rifle case.
Finally had to give up on it, cant even see a reason to "fix" it with another die bushing in the body. For some reason it flexes enough that it allows the die to rise out of the bushing insert about 1mm. NOT conducive to accurate loading. I replaced the bushing in december and since then i have done roughly
220 -38 special deprimes/resizes
100 - size n prime 357 magnum
100 - 38 special loads
50 - 44 magnum size n prime in load
Roughly 670 cycles on it, and its already out of wack...
