Carrier misalignment and primer problems?

[WyrTwister]

Fixed the last sentence in my previous post (the carrier is supposed to be aligned with the toolhead/dies, not the ram! ).

Also note (for other readers -- Sparky already knows this) that you really do want to do the last part of the tightening with a torque wrench to the value specified by Lee, since I believe you risk breaking the carrier otherwise.

What is the correct value ?

Thanks ,

Now I need to scrounge up a torque wrench ........ A small one . We have a 1/2" drive torque wrench at the shop I could borrow but that would be way too much .

When I first got my LM I had some of the problem you are describing. I did the folowing.
1. debured all the plastic parts.
2. moved the sizing die to station two.
3. did carier ailnment again.

I watched closely as the shells entered the dies. They were moving as not in ailingment. I loosened the carier with the shells in the dies so it would line itself up that way, then tightened the carier bolt. Worked ok after that.

Wish I would have writen down the steps after getting it done. I'll have to do it again someday and wish I had good notes. But this describes my method as close as I can remember. (Another bad part of getting old.)

I tried to do something like this , this weekend . Best I remember , when the ram is at the top , I could not get a wrench on the bolt head at the bottom of the ram ? It was blocked by the end of the handle / lever ?

My first idea was to use a ratchet , socket and an extension of appropriate length ?

Any and all advice would be appreciated ?
