[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2840623, member: 9374"] Having a little trouble... trying to run it through one small step at a time to learn how it all fits and functions. First, I read instructions and watched videos on setting the dies. My sizing and depriming die doesn't seem to want to deprime my 9mm cases. 1. I raised the press base to its highest point, handle all the way down. 2. Screw in the die until it touches the case plate - can't go any more, just lightly by hand. 3. Screw down locking nut. Problem is, this isn't depriming my brass. Once, it pushed the [URL="http://leeprecision.com/pistol-decapper.html"]pistol decapper[/URL] out of the collet, what they call the [URL="http://leeprecision.com/decapper-clamp.html"]decapper clamp[/URL]. I loosened this and reset it to be flush with the top of the clamp or collet. I cannot get it to deprime any of my brass... they simply run through and are untouched. I can't thread the die itself any lower, as it's contacting the base plate, which is what it is supposed to do, I think. And I haven't tried pushing the decapper deeper into the clamp because it says it should be flush. Am I doing something wrong? I haven't seen this as a common problem in any of the videos I've watched. Stupidly, I actually loosened the decapper clamp too much and my pistol decapper/rod fell out, straight through my base and into the hollow center of the piston. lol. So I've had to disassemble the whole damn press and turn it upside down to get it to come back out. That's ok, though, since I need to tear it down and run to Lowe's to get some sturdier bolts to bolt it down. So before I move on, is it ok for me set the pistol decapper rod slightly deeper inside the collet or decapper clamp? So that it fits lower inside the case and pushes the primers out? More questions to come, I'm sure. lol [/QUOTE]
