Hey Everyone,
I am slowly getting things rolling. Two months after ordering them I finally snuck out of town and shot my two new 9mm's.
Now I am working on resurecting my reloading bench. I can't believe that it has been over 20 years since I took it down..... I still have 1000 rounds of .45 on the shelf that I loaded on that press.
I have purchased a new Lee Classic Turret press and Lee "Ultimate" 9mm dies. Setup was very straightforward. Not much has changed. Tonight I set out to decap some 9mm and throw it in the tumbler.
The first round that I ran gently into the sizing/decap die the decap pin pushed up out of the die. No problem, reset it and snugged it up real good. One round ok. Second round pushed the pin up. Reset the pin and REALLY cranked on the retaining nut. Ran about ten rounds through and pushed the pin again. Time to step away......
I did verify that there were no obstructions in the cases. I had a similar situation with my old Lee 1000 that firmly snuging the retaining nut resolved. I am afraid to use much more force on this one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
S.
