I have a new Lyman Universal Case Trimmer that I used for the 1st time today. I was trimming .38 special cases. I had everything set and had trimmed approximately 30 cases when the pilot was stuck in a case. I had to turn the handle and pull back at the same time to get it to release. The pilot holder came back and hit the pressed in bushing. That was an expected happening because it took a little bit of force to free the pilot from the case. What wasn't expected was this moved my settings back by about 4 or 5 thousands.
I reset everything and was going along good when the same thing happened and again I lost 4 or 5 thousands? Now I wondering is the pressed in bushing being moved? I know the setting wheels are not hitting anything that would cause them to move and besides they are tightened down well? I'm going to call Lyman tomorrow but in the meantime have any of my fellow HR's had this problem with the Universal?
