I get that. I suppose at times it does turn industrial, for me that would be processing brass. But just like picking it up at the range, its the one not so fun part that just comes with the fun part, of trigger time. Yet need that brass to reload so I get to it and pick it up.It ceases to be fun for me when it turns industrial.
It's funny how different folks have different results. I've had excellent service from Lyman. They bought the Side Saddle brand of shotgun shell holders some years ago. I have had one of these on a shotgun since the '80s. One of the tiny screws that hold the shell holders to the backing plate went missing. I emailed them asking them the screw size so I could source one. They called me (my number was in my email signature block) asked my address and mailed me three, a replacement and two spares. This for a product decades old and sold to me prior to them ever owning the company.Not a fan of Lyman either. Especially don't like their customer service. ...
I've never had occasion to use Lyman's customer service but have always had stellar service from Dillon the only reloading company I've had a less than positive customer service experience with has been rcbs they did replace the broken item but only after having me mail it back to them at about the same cost for shipping as the item was priced other issues I've had with their products they never even responded to emails and I just replaced the bad die set with Dillon.It's funny how different folks have different results.

I dropped my trays on my Cyclone Case Dryer and cracked one. I emailed asking about purchasing another tray and received a response "one is in the mail". They had my address on file from the screw situation from several years prior.
No, don't get me started on Dillon! People rave about them, but they have been noting but dismissive when I've had problems and charged me for every single part I needed to fix the defective parts that came with the press. And the amount they charge for shipping, wow!
My first experience with Lyman was bad. They wouldn't even sell me the part I wanted. As was my next to last. The next day after my last bad experience I sold the press and talked to someone and let them know what I thought. He was going to get me the 79 cent clip but it was too late.I've never had occasion to use Lyman's customer service but have always had stellar service from Dillon the only reloading company I've had a less than positive customer service experience with has been rcbs they did replace the broken item but only after having me mail it back to them at about the same cost for shipping as the item was priced other issues I've had with their products they never even responded to emails and I just replaced the bad die set with Dillon.
In regards to returning a broken item the only items I've ever had to return to both RCBS and Dillon has been kinetic bullet pullers. Think it cost like 10 bucks to do do last time so I still came out way ahead. Something I wore out and broke and probably improperly used and they turned it into a new one for less than a third of the cost of new. No complaints on my part for a little effort.I've never had occasion to use Lyman's customer service but have always had stellar service from Dillon the only reloading company I've had a less than positive customer service experience with has been rcbs they did replace the broken item but only after having me mail it back to them at about the same cost for shipping as the item was priced other issues I've had with their products they never even responded to emails and I just replaced the bad die set with Dillon.
Indeed we do. I have slacked off lately with this batch and I did not wet clean with SS pins, just came out looking beautiful with the new corncob media and Nu-Finish car wax.You and I are close Caveman in our prep. Walnutshell tumbler, decap and size, trim, chamfer inside and out, cut out crimp, wet tumble in SS media, dry and anticipate loading these gorgeous cases. I load, then corncob tumble for 30 minutes then box 'em up. Like you, I do about a thousand at a time.
Thank you and what is your OAL?Gorgeous work misterarman!
Looks like you seat the bullet about 10 thousandths longer than I do.
