Hornady lock-n-load AP press

[zimagold]

I asked a similar question here last spring and ended up with the Hornady LNL w/ case feeder. I was between the LNL and a Dillon 650, the LNL came available used first. I kinda wish I would have held out for the 650, but I have had no real issues with the LNL. I have used both and feel the 650 is built a little better.

I originally planned on running about 6 calibers with 9 different loads. In the end, I just run 9mm and 223 with 2 loads for each. The rest is back on my single stage.

The progressive introduces too much error and takes too much setup time for my preference in everything but my bulk loads. I have dedicated dies sets, powder measures, and run only small primers for my 4 bulk loads to cut down on change over time. A Dillon 1050 would be my ideal setup, as its design reduces seating depth error, but I prefer to rent with payment in beer instead of own.
