Sounds like it would be a good time to just wait on the parts to get replenished and/or hit Ebay or some other sources for parts, If you have another 52 owner close do a swap for a couple mags and confirm the problem.

I have access to a high end microscope, can someone send me a couple fired cases so I can see what the micro stamping looks like, I find it hard to believe that the stamp would be consistent and not different over time

The binding up is probably caused by high primers, If the primers are swelling out of the primer pocket it's due to pressure, It could be large primer pocket holes if they have been over cleaned or a heavy powder charge. if the case head is sticking up it's a headspace issue, before...

maybe a worn lock while timing was good it picked this time to slip a little on you, Mabye a good smith can cut off the forcing cone and get the barrel out and screw in a barrel or maybe time to make it a custom gun, sorry about your luck, hate to loose a valued piece

I just put Dawson sights on my Pro, great sights and you get rid of the foul dot sights that come on everything now, and you could figure out how well the M&P's can shoot

I use gun scrubber and the long Cotton swabs and if I need to the brass brush for my 45 and then I coat them with hornady One shot lube for storage

I'll Take it

If you were using a bullet with a lot of taper it sure will give you plenty of room, if you were shooting a Semi Wad cutter you may find your self jamming rounds into the throaght pretty quick, I don't have the dimensions but most firearms now are made with plenty of "freebore" or bullet jump...

I think you've missed the point of Reloading, Reloading never saves you money, it just lets you shoot more for the same money. And still the reason to buy Dillon over Lee is 10 years down the road, If your a person that gets into a hobby and hits it hard for 3-5 years and then you move on...

All good points above but one thing is missing, TIME, Depending on your lifestyle "Time" is a precious thing. I like to reload in the winter or in bad weather and do batches, and the larger the better. I try to knock out no less that 500 rnds everytime I sit down, with pistol I can easily...

The best thing to do now is completely forget you bought it. Go buy yourself a new gun to play with Or at least thats the way I deal with it. I figure it's a Win/Win

The quality difference between Lee and Dillon isn't even measurable, As a person starting out, I can't stress enough to buy quality up front.

Huntertown Arms - Suppressors for everyone - warrantied beyond life I've owned a Huntertown Guardian for about 3 yrs and have been very happy, I get an occasional first round pop but both ends unscrew and the baffles come out for cleaning, A little neversieze never hurts, Is it the Best ...

Dillon Yes I have owned a Lee 1000, a Square Deal B, and I still have a dillon 550 and 2 dillon 650, Lee, junk don't need to go into it. SDB great press, great entry into progressive, Reliable, quality ammo, Proprietary Die's Not a big deal, Dillon dies are great, I would still have it if...
