Another view of the powder check. Could have bought a Dillon, probably better if all someone wants is a reliable bone stock press to crank out ammo. I bought the LNL AP so I could trim / chamfer / deburr on the press and also make more consistant ammo. I don't think the setup I have would work well on a Dillon. I can change cutter shafts and dies in the LNL bushings in about 2 min. and have sub .001" trimmed, perfect chamfer, sub .001" accurate shoulder setback, and sub .001" accurate seating. I can trim 44 mag / 10mm / 30-06 / whatever other caliber I decide to trim on the press. Cases go in the hopper and come out match quality. I can beat a 650 / Giraud combination 2:1 or better on throughput with superior quality (5 second cycle time per case). This has taken some work, but the results are very satisfying. Just comparing the straignt presses, I'm inclined to think the Dillon will work better out of the box, but I have access to a DRO equipped vertical mill, metal lathe, and an excellent tool and raw stock assortment. Not to start a flame war, but the AP is better siuted to what I do.
