[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2860308, member: 123604"] Breakage is a relatively common problem with all cam over presses, not just the Summit. Set your dies so the ram doesn't contact the die before reaching the top of its travel. The instructions say to set the sizing die so it touches the ram then tighten it slightly. Don't tighten it beyond the point it touches the ram. You put a huge amount of stress on the press when you set the die according to the instructions. You essentially have to stretch the press to force it past the point of contact to the top of the ram's travel. [/QUOTE]
