I've had my Hornady AP Lock n load press for a few months now. There are a few things that are bothering me about the press so I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problem and how they solved them.
1) The Powder drop will work itself lose after about 25-50 rounds and I have to continuely screw it back in. With large flake powders it can change the charge weight as well which is annoying.
2) The shell plate doesn't always click into place. When putting a shell in I have to push it forward for the plate to align so I can prime the shell. The same happens occasionally (but no always) when I pull the lever the shell plate will not fully enage and I'll have to manually move it the .1" so that all the shells are aligned with the dies.
If anyone has any solutions it will help.
