Ever had one of them days when your trying to reload and primers won't feed right, you spill powder, you strip a set screw out while tightening the lock nut on a die and the hand primer screws up.

Make me just want to buy ammo from the box!
 
Federal 215M primers are non-existent and I spilled about half a box.

I quit after that. Figured my luck was already bad and didn't want to push it.
 
When I got my 1st progressive loader (A Lee) I didn't load long before the primer feed hopper jammed, this caused the last primer in the chute to not index all the way forward, causing it to be seated sideway in the case. Before I got done, I had it all messed up and had to totally disassemble the loader. When I did that, I stripped out the little aluminum bushing that causes the shell plate to index each time you pull the handle. There I was with a brand new loader I couldn't use because of that flimsy little bushing. Had to wait a week or two for Lee to send me a new one. It works that way sometime!
