I broke the Lee 50 cal press three times. Its simply not suitable for resizing mil-surp BMG brass. Got rid of it and did what Gonra said. Warmed up the check book and bought a CH Rock Crusher. No...

I find the lock time on the Ruger to be far longer than the S&W. Takes extra concentration on hold and follow thru for me. If I lose that a bit, the Ruger definitely throws the shots farther afield...
