lvipscshooter Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have a Lee Classic Turret press. The last weeek, it is all of a sudden not wanting to seat primers deep enough, ans someties it is seating them at an angle. This is happening on 9mm & 38 Supercomp, with CCI, Winchester, Wolf and Magtech small pistol & rifle primers. I have changed nothing in my setup or bench. I am also having every 4th or 5th round pop out of the shell plate when trying to seat the primer, so I'm guessing this might be related? Is it possible to wear out a shell plate? I have only loaded @ 11,000 rounds on this press. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Suggest you give Lee a call and ask for Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Make sure the shell holder is all they way in. I had to clean a bunch of crap out of the little channel it sits in. It was preventing it from aligning correctly. The little thingy that holds the primer was catching the edge of the shell holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done this more than once and it fixed everything right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelC Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 If the shell holder alignment is the correct answer, then double check the primer hold cup that seats the primer ... it might have become slighly out of round due to the misalignment.

lvipscshooter Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 It ended up being junk caught in the shell holder cup. I have since prevented this from happening again. I went with the "other red press" I now have a LNL AP. My Lee turret is now with a good friend of mine and is still running well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
