Yeah, it's running but just barely. It's going back to the factory on Monday. The indexing function will not stay adjusted and that causes the cases to hit the side of the sizing die and the primers will not seat. I've spent several hours on the phone with Hornady and just cannot get the press to stay adjusted. I can tweak the pawls until the shell plate lines up perfectly then 5 to 15 strokes later it's out of adjustment again. It will get out of alinement by about 1/16" and that causes all kinds of problems.

To make it work I have to check the shell plate position with every stroke up and down because I can't trust it to stay alined. I may as well have manual indexing.
