Just want to start out and say hi to everybody. I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been reloading for a couple of years now and I must admit I have been following this forum for a while now off and on.
Everyone here seems to have some great insights from differing perspectives which is a big help.
I’ve been reloading on a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme for two and a half years now. Then recently decided to jump to a Hornady LNL AP. I’ve been buying accessories slowly to ease the fininacial burden of re-tooling my operation.
As of now I have purchased the following
Shellplates - - 9mm Luger, 38 spec. & 357 mag., 44 spec. & mag., 45 ACP
6 Bullet feeder tubes for (9mm, 38/357)
6 Bullet feeder tubes for (44,45)
6 Large primer pick up tubes
6 Small primer pick up tubes
3 pack of shellplate retaining springs
12 Hornady Sure-Lock Retaining Collars
10 Hornady Die Bushings
Hornady Powder Cop
Case Activated powder drop linkage
Hornady powder measure
Hornady quick change pistol rotor and meter
Bullet feeder dies for 9mm,38/357,44,45
I’m holding off on purchasing the press need to save up some more before I drop the cash for it. I try to pay for everything up front no CC Debt!
I already have the RCBS Carbide pistol set dies for the above mentioned calibers and plan on switching out the RCBS collars for the Hornady Sure Locks. I like the idea of Hornady setscrew that does not contact the die unlike RCBS’ design. My intentions with the LNL Press as far as die orientation is as follows...
Station One — Deprime,Size
—Prime Cases (upstroke)
Station Two — PTX Cases, Powder Throw
Station Three — Powder Cop
Station Four — Bullet Feeder die
Station Five — Bullet Seat and Crimp
I plan on purchasing the auto case feeder and auto bullet feeder down the road but I thought with plenty of tubes already filled with bullets it’s more of a luxury than a necessity. I also plan on purchasing the inline fabrication mount, led skylight, and the double bullet tray and arm assembly, and ERGO roller handle lever.
So I ask all of you handloading veterans and Hornady afficianodos, is there anything I’m missing? Are there any problems I’m going to possibly encounter that one might be able to foresee? Are there any tips or tricks with this press that I should know? I appreciate the future input, bad or good it does not matter thank you everybody!
