So my Lee Pro 4000 press was neglected most of the summer (not used and super busy at work and with school).
Realized today that the dies and press had rusted fairly badly. Cleaned the dies and got most of the rust off the parts to the press. I will be damned if I can get through five rounds without stopping and adjusting. The problem is when trying to seat primers. No matter how I adjust the press, the priming tool will not line up right.
This press has always been super finnicky anyway. I am looking to buy a new progressive, maybe something more durable. I also do not want to spend $1K plus on a press. What have you all found works well for you?
The only cartridges that I use a progressive for are 9mm and 5.56.
