Trouble Shooting
Your Lyman Ideal Press has been designed for years of trouble free use. Here are some simple
troubleshooting tips.
Shell holder loose or falling out.
Make sure shell holder clip is installed on ram.
Handle loose.
Make sure handle is threaded completely into toggle and silver jam nut is tight against toggle.
Sticky or Tight Ram
Make sure ram is free of dirt. Use damp cloth to wipe ram, then dry ram and add a thin film
of powdered graphite to the ram.
Inspect ram to insure no spent primers are jammed between ram and press body or linkage.
Remove any spent primers from linkage.
Excessive side to side play on handle;
Inspect and re-tighten any of the four shoulder bolts on linkage. Tighten shoulder bolts
snuggly, if problem continues add a small amount of blue (non-permanent) thread locker
to the shoulder bolt threads and tighten shoulder bolts.
