It was a thread like this one years ago that prompted me to take a well used, inexpensive, Lee single stage aluminum 'C' press with a sloppy ram into a dedicated depriming station. Dang if it did not make an appreciable difference in how much cleaner the other presses on the bench remain. Perhaps the sacrificial Lee 'C' may keep the other presses from wearing out. Don't know since none were any worse for wear despite a few decades of less clean handloading practices.
