[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2921246, member: 116181"] You should call Greg and talk to him about how to use the machine, he's a really nice guy. Based on what he and I have discussed, what you're saying is not an accurate statement. The seating stem will move 0.001" increments, but that does not translate to linear movement of the primer relative to the case head. This is an excerpt from notes I took while on the phone with Greg when I bought mine: He also said don't bother using the PrimeWhere I bought from him for a least 300-500 rounds, maybe even up to 1000 to make sure the CPS wears in. I reprimed a ton of LC 5.56 with the crimp mostly cut out to give it a good workout. Produces much more consistent results than when it was new, it's a mechanical thing with parts tolerances in it. Yard on the thing too, you have to make a very firm pull against the stop and do it consistently to get the primers to seat the same. If you aren't bumping the stop you'll see variance from that also. Also is there a tit on both ends of the pin? Maybe just turn the pin over. [/QUOTE]
