The spring didn’t break. It kinked rendering the primer mechanism dead. Ordered one from Lee for free. The spring is very sturdy though. I think I was lowering and raising the ram to test the priming mechanism and must move the spring from its normal alignment and got trapped by the shell plate. Other than that it’s just another press that I didn’t need. It was a blem one but seems perfect to me. If you go to my channel I made a couple of videos about the press and spring. I didnt have to tinker at all with the press as I did with my old loadmaster.
The shell plate can easily misalign, but is very easy to align back. Just use your finger and tap it back to where it’s supposed to be.
