Just called again and talked to them. They are going to replace it with a Rock Chucker Supreme. I have to mail it back to them on my dime and they will send the new press. Gotta find the cheapest way to send a heavy broken press now...

I'm really surprised they didn't email you a shipping label. If the press was new I'm sure they would have.I have to mail it back to them on my dime and they will send the new press. Gotta find the cheapest way to send a heavy broken press now...
Yes, with the press broken, it would probably fit in the USPS flat rate box.
Hold the post office to the "If it fits, it ships" advertising line.
You don't have to hold the Post Office to anything. As long as it's under 70 lbs and you don't modify the Flat Rate box you're good to go. Many cast bullet makers utilize Flat Rate boxes to ship up to 70 lbs of bullets.
This is the key! As with others, I get bullet orders @ 50lbs + in a flat rate box.tape it really well.
That's crazy! I've never seen one do that before.

Way back when, many years ago, we did not attempt to weld cast iron but only brazed it. I'm sure welding technology has improved, but I don't think the press would be strong enough (and the parts would have to be perfectly straight for ram to die alignment)..
I believe cast iron needs to be pre heated before welding, and even then the results are not guaranteed. I recall this from my motorhead days and broken engine blocks
All right guys, Let's not get any brand wars started here. We have been refreshingly absent from that for a few years now and I am grateful for that.
This is coming from a Hornady guy.
I remember the smurf,Hornady wars too,
There's nothing wrong with Dillon, Hornady, RCBS, Redding, Lyman, or Lee for that matter. They are all good for who's needs they are made to meet.
I keep wanting to hope that's all behind us now.
