I put off adding the case feeder to my LnL for several years. A few weeks ago I found a good price and purchased it. I thought the installation instructions could use some improvement but I managed to get it installed.
After installation I think the most important item to concern yourself with is timing. Not the pawls on the press but the timing rod for the case feeder. It controls and corrects things you may not think it would and sometimes minor adjustments make all the difference.
After a few adjustments with the timing rod it was feeding cases without a hiccup. I loaded 250 rounds today without incident and I wish I had added this a long time ago.
I don't like to necessarily reload fast so I didn't really add the case feeder for speed but along with my $28.00 bullet feeder it sure did speed things up. I can also use my eyes as a COP die and to focus on other things.
For anyone on the fence about buying a case feeder for your LnL stop hesitating, get it as soon as you can. You will love it.
