Operator error w Mighty armory Die

[CZ527 Guy]

Think I just ruined 20 cases & feel fortunate that I discovered the issue before more cases were damaged. After resizing the 20 cases the primers were very difficult to seat full depth, or would not seat full depth. Went to uniform the bottom of the primer pocket & noticed the bottom of the primer pocket less belled out.

First thought is over pressure though primers are fitting nice & tight. Well I did not think the mighty armory die had any adjustment. Took the die apart & never noticed a issue. Took out the stem again & then I noticed the primer ejector pin was threaded out over two turns. threaded it back in all the way & protruded primer pockets cleared up.

Just Hope this may help prevent issues for others.

Are those Mighty Armory Dies worth the money? And is there any other outlet for those dies?

For each, we develop our own opinion. My time with this die is in the neighborhood of little over 2 years. In the grand scheme my experience is rather short. I am still in favor of the MA sizing die for the sake of the ultra polish provided. As a compairson I also have used the Whidden bushing die. Mighty armory is still a clear favorite for me.

Expect a little 242 lock tight would have prevented my poor primer pocket experience.

Lots of folks have other preferences. I expect you may be very happy with other options as well.

Not aware of a better outlet.

Thanks, I didn't mean to crap on your thread. I think I'll give them a try.
