I've had it since @ 1987 and have taken care of it but tonight it let go. I was loading 45 Colt and I had just set a primer but I couldn't rotate the carriage. I tried pushing in more but the handle was already hitting the cartridge catcher mount. I had to disassemble the carriage to get the case out and then I noticed that the primer ram wasn't going up far enough.
I pull out the primer thingamajig and check it out and it appears to be ok. Then I start looking at the press. Lo and behold, the fixture at the very bottom of the ram that connects to the handle cracked. I guess I can't bitch about something that has given me 33 years of good service but I'm going to see if I can get a freebee out of Dillon anyway.
Here's some pics.
