    Broke my Redding T7 press

    Tooling along resizing .223 brass and snap. Notice how the bolt that holds the turret on is hollow. Some red mysterious substance in the middle. And yes I was using imperial sizing wax. Thankfully Redding has awesome customer service and a replacement is on the way.
