    tried to set up on lee breech lock challenger lll but primer device is on left side of press and priming on press is on right side - what is the trick to set up - have never had problems setting other lee or lyman press this one is giving me a fit - also primer catching tube keeps coming loose- can anyone help

    safety prime mounts in front of press on 2024 challenger. Did you get directions with your safety prime?

    yes - but the primer needs to be put in on opposite side -it is not on same side as large screw is on the - cut out on main shaft is on opposite side - when you look at press the screw to attach is on left side - the primer needs to be placed on right side- wish i knew how to post picture

    Have finally given up new press - no problem setting up primer in my old lee single stage press - put the safety prime on it and it works perfectly - the breech lock challenger lll turned out to be a piece of junk

    it's real easy to remove link and turn the ram to correct orientation.
