I just bought a new Lyman 4500 and I think there is a slight alignment issue with the ram. The top punch won't slide easily into the sizing die--it seems to be rubbing slightly against one side. It does go in, but it takes a little effort. This happens regardless of which sizer/punch combo I have tried.
For most of the bullets I size they don't need to go in so deeply that the punch goes deeply into the die, but is this indicative of a problem. My old Lyman 45 doesn't have this problem.
Is this normal? Is it OK? Should I send it back? How do I know when it's just annoying versus too bad?
TIA for any advice.
