I've ran into that recently. Headstamp MAXXTECH made is Bosnia, I think. My decapper doesn't fit inside the lower half. Wish I could ban it from my range.

Had the same issue with mine after 14-15 years, 20K-25k annually. Called Dillon and they said the platform was bent (probably cased by crushing a case (i.e. going to fast)). Sent me a new one with...

I used one for several years before moving to the Dillon. Small primers flowed like water. I had to smooth out the large side and it still required the wrist flick on occasion. Well worth the $20.

I tried some different colored bins with my Dillons. Just not the same; had to revert back to blue.

Most recently, about a month ago. A lightning strike blew apart the switch on my brass tumbler. I email a pix and asked if I could buy a replacement. The next day I received a response asking for my...
