Lee loadmaster shell plate

[werethefoxhat]

I bought a Lee loadmaster and am having nothing but issues with the primming I finally bought a sizing die to use in the primming staion to help center the case for primming but then the real trouble started tipped primmers what a waste. I contacted Lee customer service rep named Bill and he sent me some instruction which was not for my problem I resent the complaint and was told to return the shell plate to the factory but i have no warranty number or anything to add to the shipment so looks like I send it to whoever it may concern. what I did find is the shell plate is not machined properly for the primer to clear on the upstoke and it contacts the shell plate and it flips the primer. I was wondering if any of you have had this happen and I would like to use a die grinder with a carbide burr and true up the holes myself any help would be much appreciated

Second, send it to LEE and let them fix it. I had to when my shell plate had to be opened up for 45 Win Mag. But it was free under warranty.
Put a note in the enevelope on the problem's,and a couple spent case's with your phone number so they can contact you and ask any question's.
If you have any crushed/broke/bent part's put them in there as well and they will probably replace them all.

I went ahead and using a pencil die grinder I made the hole in shell plate fit a partialy removed primer I then made 50 rounds without a issue I can almost recomend lee reloading equipment to my worst enemies, now maybe with more reloading without issues I will recomend to my friends. Still ticked off at the quality control or lack of at lee
