Alright maybe I'm putting the horse before the car but I do have an update to my thread https://castboolits.gunloads.com/sho...ould-I-sell-it
I can't thank myg30 enough for his PM which got me actually doing something. I called Lee with intentions of trading my Loadmaster for a Classic Turret. They said I could get a $240 credit towards a Classic Turret which would cover the cost. So Friday at work I printed off the return order and today while planting some tomatoes I went down to my building to disassemble it and send it back. However I was a little upset I would be returning a (I paid) $346 and trading it for a (I can pay) $187 press.
Anyways getting to the point I remember watching this video on the Loadmaster indexing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Dqpfrt5fI @ the 1:58 mark he is indexing with no little arm thing or the nut. So before taking it apart I decided to try it. While my press didn't exactly do what his is doing but it was much easier to manipulate. So I did have an "I wonder..." moment. I simply slightly bent this piece thinking that it's possibly pressing down too hard causing my hard indexing and locking up.
I put it back together and guys...The thing runs like butter now. Not only is it indexing correctly but I can run the whole press with 2 fingers! Here it is in action... Oh and I did verify it with brass and bullets and it loads great. Guess I will be giving it a try.
