I had to order a replacement spring and picked up a few other bits for my Loadmaster last weekend. I went to their site to order parts and while their prices were a buck or 2 each, one part I ordered was 12 bucks...when I went to the cart they were all free except for shipping. Ended up paying 10 bucks for what should have cost 20-25 bucks(parts plus shipping).
Not quite a no hassle guarantee, but made my evening.
What parts? The priming system. I knew when I got the press it could be problematic...but over the last year and 4000 or so rounds I've had limited issues with it. (they 'fixed' it a couple years back from my research, made it much more reliable). Sadly, after 4-5000 rounds through it, I 'think' some of the bits have wore and now its not priming as well as it used to. The main thing right now that's annoying me is the plunger is sticking up inside the primer feed...causing it not to feed primers...hoping that is causing the tipping primers issue. The little spring in there is toast(bent it early when I wasn't careful). So anyway, we'll see if this gets it back to 'new' action.
If not, I'll buy a good priming tool and hand prime until I can afford the next generation of 87IROC press.
