[QUOTE="milboltnut, post: 2397585, member: 117662"] The Lyman All American Turret is a robust build. I don't use the priming system. It's a little too loose and isn't consistent. The T mag I used for many years until I got tired of the ram over travel, or better, once it reached TDC it drop down a tad and changed OAL. Plus the ram had to much movement for me. Recently I got a FA coaxial. After much reading of complaints I came to the conclusion that when I changed to Lanoline and alcohol for case lube, I never experienced a stuck case, maybe slight/moderate resistance. Once the lube pad get tacky I reapply more with a throat spray bottle with a fine mist. And considering I don't load a boat load ammo, I'm fine with the lube I use. The other lubes such as RCBS and others, even Imperial or Hornadys brand say use very sparingly.. will either be with me too much or too little and I can't quite master it. Lanoline and alcohol is the safe guard and if guys used it they wouldn't have the issues with the FA M press in my understanding. Yeah I saw the threads where the tiny screws go and one out of the 5 were barely there, and should the screws be longer? Yes. And could they be replaced ? Yes. You can buy longer 8-40 screws. I know that's what they are, because I tried thier screw to a front sight screw hole and they fit perfectly. Another issue is the expander rod to separate the shell holder plates isn't tall enough. Simple fix.. a 10 mm bolt about 3 inches or less puts the carriage where I like it. Also the return plunger springs could be a tad heavier to align the case to be centered with die. [/QUOTE]
