Question while we are on the topic of bad vs good quality 😆 this is a slug mass produced and I do not understand how they get this smooth almost waxy finish witch all large pellets and slug manufacturers achieve. Please can someone enlighten me. Thanks

Hi, got the Presslug 2025, having iuuses with the crown, no problems for a while then unable to unscrew the crowns top screw, its stuck solid and i mean solid, anyone else have this issue...... Al
I've only had issues with the PS dies. The press itself is great. I've reached out to the team at PS but they do not seem willing to resolve these issues. For this reason I'm looking at Corbin going forward. In the meantime I will be looking at replacement dies for the PS from GMI

Hi, yes — it’s lead ingress between the two parts of the split die, which pushes outward and puts pressure on the ring, making it difficult to unscrew. This happened to me once as well. What lubricant are you using? I had to clamp the whole assembly in a vice and free it with a punch and hammer.

Their lube is definitely a secret. Attached is RBT's I make with the Corbin.

There is a tumbling process which is followed, Zan used walnut and cork media initially, NSA uses ultrasonic agitator, So that why they look as the image youv've posted.
