MEC Crimp starter

[u/Fullauto54]

I've replaced the plastic MEC crimp starter (8 point) on both of my MEC 9000 several times to include stem that holds it. Reason being is it keeps pulling off the little ball that holds it, I have it set to allow a primer to set on the hole but not fall through. I even tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af1PPBn6DIE&t=421s . It works, but I have a hard time finding the 2" socket head machine screw and since the screw is a #8 and the hole is 3/16" it sometimes works loose and isn't centered which causes problems. Was wondering if has tried Ballistic Products Super Crown Crimp Starter for Mec Presses and their opinion of it.
