You don’t have to watch the whole thing, because most of it is not of concern to you but FF to 4:00 and watch until you see the difference in surface finish then move on to 12:30 and see a culprit for the problem you are having.
The meat and potatoes of it is that the new shell plates are thicker than the old ones where they ride on the die cast aluminum post.

If you have used yours enough to wear the post (doesn’t take much) aluminum is displaced down and makes it so the new style binds on it.
Note the line that separates the spot where the old style rides and the shiny part where the new ones have to go.

Hi all. I have this issue with the Lee Loadmaster 15S shellplate. I just got it and tested it. To my surprise the shellplate did not rotate! And when I force it, the plastic flipper on the indexing rod just bent upwards as I try to raise the ram. I notice that the shellplate between the “old” ones and the 15s shellplate was different...help!!!! Did Lee change their shellplate and when?? The one on the left is the “old” shellplate that runs just fine. The 15S shellplate is on the right. Not sure if the new design is the cuase if the press binding...
