From your title, I thought it was going to be all blood and gun parts; glad it wasn't.

Nope the four I got loaded worked great :)

Four? Only four?

Yup

I worked with a guy like you, he could break anythin

What is that expression, face palm ?

Then a gutteral sound of, uuuuughh.

Then a big sigh as I think of all the knowledge shared in forum from those in the know to those who don't have a clue who jump over good advice and play into bad council.

I've never busted a pawl. When press handle gets tension I stop.

Anyway, you'll get it figured out. Broken parts and down time is part of your learning curve.

This is why we suggest single stage first. Learn how to tune your dies. Cartridge sizing, depriming, priming. Much easier to get your mind around one die at a time than 3 to 5 at once.

Part came in yesterday. Put it in when I got off work, had to Make a minor adjustment and its running perfect again. Lesson learned thanks guys.
