It's been a bit of a saga getting this sorted, I desperately need a new press as the thread on my Lee where the die screws in is flogged out and allows slop.
It makes it incredibly difficult to seat with any degree of accuracy, I am literally having to hold the die steady with my left hand whilst pulling the leaver with my right.....then back the seating stem out 1/4 turn and start again with the next projectile slowly winding it back in (if I don't follow this procedure the seating depths are all over the show with no 2 the same).
Unfortunately with birthdays, wedding anniversary, Christmas and then more birthdays funds are not likely to be directed at the lead shed till February
