I wanna see the pictures of what it looked like after he shot the press
How can you gripe and complain about a product when you refuse to let the manufacturer make it right?
I know I'm restarting an old thread but could use some help...After all the work it does pretty good. I have not sent this to RCBS. Initially I was going to, but decided that since I got it working I didn't want them to replace it with another piece of junk.
I have dealt with RCBS on some things. They replaced my powder hopper when it got foggy. They sent me another primer catcher, but the replacement wasn't much better than the original. After 3 attempts at replacing the shell holder spring that broke they sent a new ram that had the correct spring on it.
I have worked enough in manufacturing and design that most of the issues came from farming out the work. One manufacturing shortcut after another, then throw the parts in a box leads me to believe that this stuff now comes from China. Some things were labeled from there. The turret rings were made in USA, that I know. And the dies are still made here, which are my preference.
I have cranked out about 4,000 rounds in the last year. Most have been for testing powder and bullet combinations, so they were in small batches or 10 or 20. My plan is to keep the press for loading .32-20, but to get a good progressive. If I can scrape up enough money, my favorite color will probably be blue.
