I just bought a Lee universal decapping die and have been decapping a lot of brass this week. The debris from the primers really showed up when doing so much at a time. Had to clean and lube the ram yesterday.

Yep i also use a Univ decapping die, with a little aluminum C press- which gunks up really fast. I have tried polishing the ram, oil, grease and dry lubricants. None of those things have prevented the gunk buildup. Most of the better presses have a primer and debris hole that runs all the way through the ram and exits below the press keeping any gunk or buildup from accumulating on the ram. I can’t tell from the pictures how the new Lee press disposes of primers.
