Hornady LNL AP Loader Question

[Winchester 70]

Hey all,

I just picked up a Hornady LNL AP Loader today, and I have a few questions. I was wondering where would be the best place to purchase the EZ-Ject shell plates? I was also wondering what shell plate numbers I will need. I will be loading:

45 LC
38 Special and +P
40 S&W
9 MM
7MM Rem Mag
223 Remington

I have been reloading with an old Lyman Turret Press.

I am looking forward to getting this set up.

Thanks for your help!
John

Midway has a option to shop shell holders and shell plates by caliber. For the most part, I believe the Hornady shell holder numbers and shell plate numbers are the same for the same cartridge.

I would think the Hornady web site would also have the information.

Sinclair International also carries Hornady shell plates but their price is higher than Midway's.

I am sure there are other sources around. Those are the two I use the most. Some of the other major choices are located in Tennessee which means I have to pay sales tax. I generally don't shop there because of the sales tax.

I enjoy my Hornady. Have fun with yours.

I just bought some from here. It was the best price I could find at the time, and looks like it may still be.

ETA: yeah, look at the Hornady site for which one you need. The vendors are all probably correct, but it wouldn't hurt to double check.

IIRC the shell plate numbers are inside the LnL Instruction Manual, around page 4.

John, I just got one of these last week and picked up some shell plates at Cabelas since they arent too far for me. In the LNL manual there is a page that lists what plate is needed for each caliber.

Just got into reloading recently and found that most vendors are out of stock on a lot of Hornady parts. However, I was able to locate the plates on Midsouth Shooter Supply's website. Decent price as well.

Last week I went looking (on-line) for Hornadays shell plate for .45acp. I lost track of the number of sites I visited with those being out of stock, so I emailed Hornaday. They're answer was that some L-n-L parts have been out of stock, but that Midway was do to receive a large shipment. I believe they have, since I got a notice from Midway that the part had shipped.
