Hey all. Just got my lee press and I am having trouble. Is there any adjustment feature for the height of the ram? My problem is that the ram is going to far down and cause the primer seater to fall out when driving the ram back up. It goes down about 1/16 too far and unseats the primer arm. I see a way to rig it but I want to be sure there isn't an adjustment area that I don't see.

Raise the ram and insert a shell holder. That will fix your problem as it needs a shell holder to fit the case you will be loading.

Gotcha! I just didn't think it would act like that without a holder..

Yes with a shell holder there is nothing to stop it at all since that is what actually stops its travel and keeps it in place. It does the same thing with the Lee Classic Cast also which uses the same priming system and arms as the Lee Classic Turret.
