    Found this video after reading a thread on snipers hide about issues with the m press, I will probably strip mine down and do the screw upgrade as suggested in this video before doing any real work with this press.
    Another issue I have found mentioned is that the grub screws in the die blocks can work loose, dunno if a bit of blue loktite might be a fix, if it even is an issue ? Other suggestion I found was to use 2 redding die lock rings per die spaced to fit in the block on the press.
    Will see how it goes first with seating before I bother mucking around with that.
    Of note my shell holders rotate freely.

    Here is a pic demonstrating using 2 die lock rings instead of the Frankford Arsenal die block, again I'm unsure if thus is a genuine issue but at very least it would get you out of a bind if you needed to set up dies for a friend to use your press so handy to know.

    I will try blue loktite on the grub screws in my FA die blocks if they come loose before giving this a go.
