Awesome Upgrade

By Craig B. on Sep 04, 2020
My press is about 20yrs old and I Love it, but it’s had it’s issues. This kit fixed the issues. The old primer feeding system was very temperamental and the plastic was prone to break. The new design is metal and rock solid. Also this gets rid of that awkward process of inverting the loaded primer tube and possibly dumping 100 primers all over the bench and floor. The other issue this corrected is the loaded shell ejector. The wire spring that kicked out the loaded shell used to bind and either stop the press or fling a loaded shell across the shop. The new ejector is built into the base and works flawlessly. The ejector redesign is why the old shell plates don’t work with the new base plate but it’s worth replacing the shell plates. The only hurdle that I encountered was removing the old base plate which was very tight. I actually went through a half dozen Allen wrenches before it broke loose. Also, some better instructions would be nice. Overall this is a great upgrade.
