Well it looks like it's time to move up to a progressive press. I'm seriously considering the Hornady LNL and have some questions for all you LNL users out there in reloading land.
I currently reload 9mm on a LCT with a Lee Auto Drum powder measure. I like this setup, but I've been shooting a lot more 9mm lately and I'm really interest in a progressive. I prime off the press and would be waiting a while, perhaps a long while, to add bullet and case feeders.
I would like powder verification and will be dedicating a station to a lockout die or the like. I also will be seating and crimping in two seperate stations. I'm planning on flaring and powderdroping in one station. I have looked at the Hornady PTX addition to the Hornady case activated powder measure. The PTX and the Hornady powder measure looks to be a fairly complex setup. Compared to the Lee Auto Drum and Lee powder thru die, the Hornady solution seems over complex and hard to setup.
My question is twofold: 1. Will the Lee Auto Drum and powder thru die work on the Hornady progressive, and 2. Is there any advantage in using the Hornady PTX setup over the Lee?
I'm interested in hearing from those who have a Hornady progressive and your experience with either of the two options; PTX and Hornady powder measure or Lee Auto Drum with the Lee powder thru die.
