[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 948267, member: 22335"] When talking to Redding a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I thought my decapping rod was bent as well. The tech mentioned that this is a common thought but in fact it just looks that way due to the "stack up" of tolerances of the several thread locations that hold the rod in place. While on the phone with him I adjusted the rod and a few of the threads and in effect made the bend "go away." So, you may want to try this as well. If in doubt remove the rod entirely and roll it on a flat table. If it's bent or straight, you'll see it. While the tech recommended using the expander ball I usually do not, and this is what I was taught by others on this board with a lot more experience than me. [/QUOTE]
