    Yes, that's the part. After some searching here, I found that if I bent the rod so that it was closer to a 90 degree angle while hanging, that the stress on the bushing seemed to be much less. I...

    What's the most stupid thing you did casting/reloading that you won't do again!

    Okay, no politically correct concerns when I say... "There are stupid questions and actions, but we should all learn from them.

    Thanks to all. I will continue my search for kidney fat, suet, and render the bear fat down to see how it goes.

    Great advice from all! I adjusted all dies with cases in each station and it is running true, consistent OAL while running the progressive press.
