Popper, I'll give it a try if I start cleaning larger quantities. At the current rate, I can dry more than I can load in a weekend using the blow-dry technique. Before using salt with an acid in your US, you should read the thread Blue68f100 referred to in Post #11.

edwin41, Lee, Hornady, RCBS and Lyman all make 'universal depriming dies' - just an open die shell with a depriming pin down the center. I have a Lee - hard to beat for less than $10. Works fine in my LNL. I take out all my assembly dies and put the depriming die in station 1. I can deprime...

Ledhore: It's not for the LNL, though it helps a little (compare hand priming a clean case vs. a dirty one). And I have never found a noticeable difference in cartridge performance. It's for the long-term health of the operator. Clean primer pockets don't have lead residues in them, which...

I've been lurking around this forum for many months, gleaning everything I could about case cleaning, persuading your Hornady LNL AP to work consistently, and all things reloading - many thanks to those who have posted their experiences. Time for me to pay you all back a bit. I load 45ACP...
