Hello everyone,
Got my updated press, series S-Press, back from Dave quite a while ago. Been making my LadyHawks and G-2 bullets in .451 caliber for a friend and me. Probably ran off about 500 bullets with no problems, the press worked great and the stop pin in the front of the press was not even thinking about bending. Then I wanted to work with a copper tubing jacket, after cutting five of them I tried to end round one of them but before I could start to make contact with the bottom of the die as I was raising the ram I encountered a little resistance and POP, the ram went all the way up. I investigated the problem and found that my stop pin had shattered into more than three pieces and found a couple of very short pieces of lead wire inside at the bottom of my ram. I don’t think that it was the pieces of lead wire that caused my pin to shatter but than again I have not found what did happen. I’m waiting for a few stop pins to arrive from Dave before I can have fun again. :oops: I broke my toy again.
