my lnl ap press that i do only hand gun ammo on has about 8-10,000 rounds through it. ive always noticed some play in the handle at the bottom of the stroke but just recently started looking at it. with ram up handle down i get alot of side to side play which in turn makes the sub carrier for the shell plate have about 3/16th of side to side play. i know there needs to be some play for every thing thats going on others wise it would bind, called hornady and they said its completely normall and other wise it would bind.. just seems excessive to me. any body else have the same press? let me know how yours is

Mine is over 7 years old and has play, and still makes fine ammo. All presses even a new from the box coax has to have play so the brass can align itself to the die. If the die is held rigid the shell holder allows movement, if the case is held rigid there is play in the die holder. If both were held rigid there would be case damage if there was even .0001 misalignmentComment
