For the money you think they would put a rounded smooth head on the lube pump adjustment thing that the arm pushes on.

After 5k boolits the machine felt like running in sand the Hex head had worn a gouge in the arm which was rubbing on the link.

Anyway after rounding the head, fileing off all the rub marks and lubeing now is silky smooth.

But wonder if this wear issue will re appear. The smoothing fileing and rounding I did whould have been done from factory, but then I like fooling with stuff.

Problem now is I have over 7K of cast and sized boolits and find I have more fun casting and now sizing than shooting (almost)

Guess I need more molds and odd ball guns to shoot them in.

I run in cycles like that. Casting can be done at home without a lot of interaction--which I like

careful or you'll end up with 5 gallon buckets full of boolits ready to be loaded.
and 5 gallon buckets full of boolits ready to be sized.
and no place to store them.
