I've never had this happen before. I was loading some .45 ACP's when the press started to make a horrible sound when I would pull down on the handle. I stopped loading and took it apart. A small piece of debris, that looked like brass had embedded itself in the upper powder slide housing and it cut a groove in the top of the powder slide to the rear of the hole. I can't imagine where it came from, unless it was in the can of powder I was using; Bullseye. It would not be the first time I had something foreign in a can of Bullseye. One time it was a small piece of cardboard.
I could not get whatever it was out of the housing, so I took a fine Swiss file and carefully smoothed it out. After putting everything back together, it all seemed to work as intended.
