Lee press alignment problems

[gregb]

I have a Lee Precision Press and sometimes after each pull the dies do not line up exactly right. Is there a way to adjust this? - I usually just use my hand to reposition it a fraction.

Not sure which press you have, but if it's a progressive you can adjust it. The 1000 model is adjusted by the Philips screw bellow the third position.

Kindly disregard if this is not the press you have,

go to Lee's site, they have a bunch of videos on setting up and tuning your press.

I have a 1000 now I bought used and even when I adjust that screw, it still comes out of whack after a few pulls.

I am going to order a brand new on in 45 and see whats messed up. I;ll report back here if I figure it out. Might be a bad shell plate holder.

Thanks guys, I found a video on the Lee website showing the adjustment method. Think this should do it.

If it is the turret press, just hold the top turret with your hand, and with an adjustable wrench, turn the index rod untill it lines up.

If it's the classic, consider ordering a bunch of the square plastic guides and plastic clamp on the ram, you have a tendancy to screw these up as you learn how to reload. They are quite cheap and easy to replace.
