Stupid Ham Fisted

[planeflyer21]

Don't know my own strength.

Started up some .45acp on the Lee Pro1000 this afternoon.  Was checking everything, making sure no adjustments were needed, when a case fell over as it was being fed into the shell holder.

What in the hell is that resistance?  Just push harder...oh look, I squashed a primed case sideways.

So took some time to take the deprimer out of the sizing die, resized it, loaded it singly.

Back to the rest...now what is wrong?  It gets really hard right about...there.  Okay, pull off the casefeeder.  Some dipshit bent the casefeeder guide when he squashed the .45acp case.

<thumbsup>

Now I remember why I quit snapping lug bolts off.

Fortunately I have two extra shell plate carriers, which contain the integral casefeeder guide.  Should be able to repair the bent one.

The moral of the story is:  if you encounter resistance, stop.

Hopefully this is the last time I have to learn this.  <laughs>  My edumacation cuts into my time allotment.
