This subject (cases "tipping" as they enter the shellplate) came up on another forum recently and here is what I posted there: I've had a LNL AP for several years and I have run many thousands of cases (.223) through the feeder. I've experienced the same problem but not nearly to the degree...

First, let me say that the Giraud trimmer is great. For each different size case you want to trim, you will need a different "Case Holder". If you look on the Giraud web site, you will see a entry in the product list for "Additional Case Holder for any of the calibers listed above". One...

I have owned both a Gracey and Giraud. Both are good, fast trimmers. Both trim, chamfer and debur in one pass. Both use a similar method. In fact, the Giraud blade can (and should) be used in the Gracey. IMHO, and based on my experience, the Giraud is faster and easier to use. It's...

I bought a LNL AP a few months ago and I love it. I loaded 200 rounds of 223 match ammo last night. It loads great ammo and it loads it fast. If you didn't get the automatic case feeder, put that on your shopping list. I wish I had bought mine long ago. Like any piece of fairly...

I have ARs with both Jewel and Giessele triggers. Both are user installable (just follow the directions). The Jewel trigger is very good. The Giessele is incredible.

Quintin, Bob Head with CRC here... +1, +1, +1! on getting the Giraud. Yes, it's expensive (buy once, cry once). If you are shooting as much as you should be, it's the only way to go. Bob

Dave, Luggernut might need to adjust his timing but that's not the issue with mine. Without a primer in the system, my punch goes well up into the primer pocket without any catches or resistance. With a primer in the system, primers will seat fully but only with what I consider a lot of...

I have the same difficulty priming .223 on my new LNL AP. I agree with the earlier post that it is most likely a lack of mechanical advantage. In my case it is definitely not a loose shell plate. I can see how this would cause a problem but I think it would be obvious in that their would...

They look very similar to legs to I made from my L-N-L. I used oak butcher block for the top and ran threaded rod all the way through the press down to the bench. Very stable. See: http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=2960627&postcount=11

3.575 would be at the outer edges of my JR but should work. Thanks.

I just got a Hornady L-N-L AP and I have to remount my single stage. It's an old RCBS Jr. At some point, I plan to get a Rockchucker to replace it. Before I drill holes for this JR, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the hole spacing for a Rockchucker. Both have slots for the mounting...

Dave, Yes, I painted the metal with black textured finish Krylon spray and the wood will get a tung oil finish. Those threaded rods compress the whole unit onto the bench top and give it a very stable feel. The bottom of the rods bolt through another piece of angle iron under the bench top...

Well, here's what I came up with. The legs are steel (1" angle and square, brazed together). The top is from a scrap piece of oak butcher block. I ran 1/2" threaded rod through the press to the bench top. Merry Christmas to all.

Dave, Nice looking mount. Do you think you lost much stability/rigidity with this approach? It looks like I would need about 9.5" of height for the ram to clear the bench top but you went a little higher. Was that just a personal preference or did you find that you needed the press...

I'm hoping I can go high and back. I like to load standing up and the down-stroke on the L-N-L is too low to be comfortable if I mount the press on the bench surface. I would also like to mount the press high enough so that the bottom of the linkage will clear the bench and allow me to set...

I just bought a Hornady L-N-L AP and I'm looking at how I want to mount it on my bench. I think I would like to mount it on something like the Dillon Strong Mount. It doesn't look like Hornady sells one specifically for this press. Has anyone ever mounted a Hornady to a Dillon Strong Mount...
