This would be soooo much easier (I think) in real time ;) What you're telling me does not make sense when I go down and sit in front of the press. I told you I cannot advance the time of the left pawl (the one that controls the position on this portion of the stroke) any further without going...

But it would still be advancing the vee-block *sooner* wouldn't it?

What you guys are saying about the wire does not appear to be physically possible, at least not on this machine. Either mine has something mis-configured (definitely possible) or there is some other difference. It also contradicts the manual: Here is what it looks like as I normally have it...

If you are talking about the cam wire, I think I made it pretty clear that there *is* no more adjustment short of threading the rod further. Are you suggesting I thread that rod some more? If you are talking about the vee-block, I have to admit I've seen reference to 'adjusting' it, but can't...

No problem. I thought for a minute there was some confusion about which station I was having issues with - probably has something to do with being on night shift last night and tonight... ;) One notch of the shell plate has a chip out of it on the leading edge - no idea how the heck I managed...

I'm not having problems @ station #5... my problems are @ station #1:

No luck as of yet. Called Hornady, their response was typical of what I figured it would be from various posts that I've seen here and else where... 'Adjust the cam wire'. No kidding, thanks I read the manual, *told* you I read the manual, there *is* no more adjustment on the cam wire unless I...

Okay, here's my new and improved master plan... tell me what you think: Since parts for the LnL AP are quasi-unobtanium at the moment, I'm going to go ahead and set up the 550. I'm not exactly a high-volume pistol shooter - heck, the only reason I got the LnL AP in the first place was that...

Hmm... not sure what you are talking about when referring to a 'shell holder' in addition to the shellplate on the LnL AP. I think I figured out what all I'd need, and at this point the issue isn't so much the cost, or the speed... its the simple fact that no one place I've looked actually...

I'm looking to start loading 9mm for my G34 & CZ75 SP01. I'd like to think I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to reloading *rifle* rounds, but I have zero-zip-nada experience when it comes to pistol/handgun stuff. What I have: Dillon 550, a Hornady LnL AP w/ casefeeder, and a set of...

Thats the problem... I operated the press a bit, adjust the pawls in small increments per the manual, then operate it some more. Everything works fine for some random number of cases, anywhere from two to twenty, then it starts messing up and getting out of time again. Make another small...

The bench is reasonably sturdy... more so than a lot of the ones I see in videos on YouTube where people operate presses bolted to what looks like a scrap of 3/4" ply... :rolleyes: After messing with this thing some more... it seems like a combination of the feeder wire along with timing of...

Hello, My LnL AP is finally whole! Picked up a (very) lightly used LnL AP around the middle of December and *finally* found a place (Natchez SS) that had the case feeders in stock and not backordered (and continually slipping further out). Got the case feeder in yesterday, finished up...

Stupid question here... all the electronic devices I've worked with have been in industrial/utility scenarios... what are you using for a power supply to drive these units? Just a little DC power supply tucked under the bench, or something else?

Idano, Thanks for posting this info. My LnL AP should be getting here this afternoon so I'm scouring forums for any kinds of tips n tricks to optimize performance. The counter device is what really interests me... I'm running through ideas in my head on how to adapt it to my 550 as well...

Started out w/ a Wilson case trimmer w/ all the Sinclair goodies, including stand, clamp, and Starrett micrometer for fine tuning the cut. Absolute perfection, but a little slow and still had to chamfer/debur separately. Read Glen Zediker's book 'Handloading for Competition: Making the...

Someone (empyrean?) mentioned that the Hornady had a benefit in that you could just change the metering insert when changing calibers vs. changing or resetting the powder measure on the Dillon. True, but you can also just change out pre-set powder measure bars on the Dillon measure as well. I...

I used it about 4-5 years ago in .223 Rem w/ 40-50gr bullets. It shot just fine. I kind of got out of that mode (varminting) and more into the heavy bullets (HP competition). Either X-Terminator or TAC should work fine. Monte

Hello, Being winter and the match season is going to start up in a month or so (followed shortly thereafter by the time to shoot at small furry things), I got busy doing a general clean up. In the process of going thru things, I noticed my dies were (once again) dirty as all get out. Talking...

I picked up one of the Lee Hand presses wanting to use it for loading at the range, decapping away from the loading bench, etc. Works OK for the latter... maybe I'm not coordinated enough or something but holding the cartridge i.e. case/bullet and hanging onto the press firmly enough with one...
