I have never seen a press with a center bolt type turret that did not have deflection during reloading. Still a good piece of equipment, but if you are going to proof test something do it right.

One of the things that became apparent many years ago is that the “grit” in fired primers (and pockets) gets loose during de-priming and, when mixed with a bit of oil on the ram and frame, makes an excellent grinding paste.

There is a LOT to be said for a separate de-priming operation that is performed on a “non-critical” press before case cleaning.

Thorough cleaning and re-lubrication of the press after use will also extend life AND maintain accuracy in performance. Wobbly rams make reloading straight-sided cases “interesting”.
