Primer seating issue

[tcoz]

I had a minor issue appear today for the first time. I was loading 9mm on a Lee Classic Turret Press and when I lowered the ram, the primer would just barely catch on the bottom edge of the shell holder as the little arm that holds the primer was swinging into position under the case. It didn't happen every time and when it did occur, I could get it to work properly by just raising the ram slightly then lowering it again and it would swing into position like it should. I tried lightly lubing the arm where it pivots inside the ram and also the little spring under the primer cup but that didn't cure the problem. Has anyone else using an LCT press experienced this?

Try turning the top of the ram to align the slot and arm. Lee has has a video on thier web page:

Thanks royesses. I did visually check the alignment and it looked good but I'll look more closely.

That worked. Thanks again.
