--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its a sad day, I broke the linkage on my Lee Challanger press. I always thought that aluminum was a poor design. So I called up Lee and mailde the parts off to them to get replacement parts. I'll let you all know how it goes.
So 3 weeks off over Christmas and not enough ammo on hand. I guess I'll have to buy some now. I was working on a big batch of 308, 150grn spiters on milspec brass. It was once fired brass that I was full lenght sizing (with lube) when one on the cases was a hard extract. So I give it a little pull and the linkage went pop.
Hope Santa brings ammo for Christmas
