[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2358214, member: 42157"] Well amazing things happen when I pull my stubborn ignorant head out of my ARSE. My press does not have a black pre-crimp die. So I studied it and said WTH they said it would adjust. So I started taking unscrewing it and ended up taking it apart and realized nope there is no adjusting that one. I could replace the insert, but no adjusting it, and noticed the back one had a threaded rod and lock nut. Yep, started adjusting that rod like wasskeet posted (I read his post later as I already went back out to work on it. ) and stuff started to change. Yes, I screwed up a few and it does not take much adjustment to see a noticeable difference. So I adjusted and lined them up with a few notes on what I did as I went. Well what the hello do you know that thing is adjustable. So I loaded another 75 and the last 50 I had 8 I wanted to drip wax on, and of the 8 only 2-3 really needed it and the others why not. I still had some with a single pellet dead center, but tapping and banging it against the bench would not shake it loose. Hello Sally...I think I have it working. I swapped over to this load about six years ago when long shot powder came out. I tried about 10 different wads and loads to get it to work. Yes I'm shooting almost 1.5oz loads and it helps a crappy shot like me. Thanks everyone you legit helped me and now I'm on to the next 40 years of using this press with no adjustment and loading my own shot shells. Lincoln has to check that vest every time he sees it.
