| RCBS will almost certainly replace it... |
Stuff I learned from A-Team: 1)Always pity da fool 2)Carry wire cutters (you may need to defuse a bomb or start a car) 3)Never trust a crazy fool 4)Carry grenade launcher/machine guns in the van 5)Know how to weld 6)Love It When A Plan Comes Together
to replace it, which arrives today

Maybe use a different mount like the RCBS plate. It looks like the bench snapped then the press. I guess I never use mine for sizing but it works great for everything else. Hopefully he bought the LEE O frame steel press. Not the O frame Aluminum or breech lock press or he is going to have the same issue. I have the breech lock and it is even flimsier than the partner press. When I size I use my Dillon 550 or my Ammomaster 2 or my Rebel |

So my guess is the aluminum, but dont know. He finished resizing 100 300 RUM cases on it, so I guess it worked. |
