Thread: Piece of shit fucking Redding Big Boss press!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my 15 year old Lee press broke last year. I figured an expensive Redding Big Boss press would be an improvement. It has always been quite stiff to raise and lower the ram. I figured it was new and the tolerances were quite tight.
Tonight it completely seized up. I ended up having to get the sledgehammer out to get the ram out. Turns out there is a big gouge in the ram and inside the sleeve the ram goes through. It starts just below where the primers fall out. Looks like some old primer material has got down between the ram and sleeve and has gouged out both.
Gave everything a good sand with some wet and dry to try ans smooth it out. Worked for a bit, but was still very stiff. Now it has seized again!!! Part way through loading up 100 9mm rounds.
Fuckin piece of shit press!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
