Hornady Having just got back into reloading after a long break, I bought the Hornady LnL and I couldn't be happier with the product and service. I have had several encounters with CS, all of the problems my fault, and they have been gracious, generous, funny and never pointed the finger at my...

Does anyone know of a site where I can input loading data and get an estimated velocity. I know we have something like that on this site, but it requires a starting velocity and will only estimate changes. I did find one site that had software for sale but it was rather steeply priced. Thanks, RichH

Adjustments I have the same press and have put a little blue Loctite on those pawl screws to keep them from going out of adjustment. Worked perfect, 1500 rounds since then and no further adjustments. RichH

Progressive Press I've had my Hornady LnL over a year now, and I couldn't be happier. Auto progressive, 5 stations, take the bushings so caliber changes are easy and the powder drop system is infinitely adjustable. On top of that, $250.00 less than the equivalent Dillon with the same warranty...

Excellent info guys, I really appreciate it. I did feel I could duplicate factory ammo crimp without a problem, I just wanted confirmation. As we all do, I have a significant investment in my guns, and my health, and want to avoid anything going boom in my hands or damaging my guns. I will be...

So, here I am again, this time regarding crimps. While the loading manuals state that the cartridge is .380 at the neck I have been crimping to .378 and find this dimension a little snug. I have since measured several commercial cartridges and they average .376 and slide in and out of the...

Seat Depth I have noticed that a lot of guys are using N-320 and I am going to work up some loads with that as soon as I can find it locally. Funny how one reverts back to very old habits when restarting a hobby. With the set up I have, Hornady LnL AP with the Powder Cop, I have no worries...

I totally understand, however my issue was with bullets that don't have specific data. When I was loading in the mid 80's I always calculated a seating depth as a back up number. I have been doing this currently and will certainly continue to do so. Since I have a great aversion to guns blowing...

Deavis, Thanks for the reply, you have confirmed my theory. Fortunately my XD-9 Tactical is not very finicky regarding OAL, it would, however, be particularly bad to have extremely high pressures. Used to reload 25 years ago on a major basis and quit when I moved to AZ. Now that I have begun...

Greetings, New here and fairly new to reloading, so I have a question. While we all speak of OAL, which may be important to firearm functioning, isn't bullet seat depth even more critical? While the firearm may or may not function with a particular OAL, by seating the bullet to an OAL without...
