Lee ACP killer ... New Deluxe ACP

[tightgroup tiger]

I'm not sure it could mean anything other than: "You send us your APP, We give you credit toward the purchase of the new one".

When we hear the deal Lee will offer then we'll know about the shipping costs and so on. In other words, do I have to pay shipping both ways if I send mine in for replacement. If I do that diminishes the value of the credit path somewhat.
The details will tell me if the deal is worth it vs just buying the new one. When they make the offer we'll find out then.

Titan still lists the old ACP for $90. No mention of the deluxe ACP...that I've seen.

Does Titan sell the deluxe model? Is Lee shipping it?

Read this on a Facebook group, so take it for whatever that is worth:

You show them that you previously purchased an APP ( sales receipt) and they give you a credit toward the purchase of the Deluxe APP. I didn't pay attention to how much credit they give you ($50 or 50%) because I'm waiting to see something official. I do remember that it is through Lee and the credit would not be available through vendors

Looks that way. This is the email response I got from Lee Precision - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/lee-acp-killer-new-deluxe-acp.917220/#post-12582014

Hello John,

We are looking at producing an ACP upgrade kit pricing would be in the area of $50 MSRP. It is not yet available like the Deluxe APP. It will be coming very soon.

APP owners will be offered the merchandise credit path forward by sending in their press. There are just too many parts required to convert APP to Deluxe APP.

Now I'm torn again...I have both the APP and the ACP

I was all set to upgrade to the Deluxe App to gain the SPP priming system because the primer feed on the ACP was driving me nuts. It seem like every other primer is flipping vertical as the platform rises...I suspect not enough downward pressure on the incoming primer from the retention finger. But...if they have an upgrade on the horizon, I may wait a bit. As a dedicated priming machine, I really like the innovation built into the the ACP...being able to prime without a shell holder is a dream come true

Just as an update, the ACP Upgrade Kit is now available for $40. It is the same priming shuttle system as used on the SPP and Deluxe APP.

If you want to upgrade your APP they offer 50% credit ($95) toward MSRP of the Deluxe APP. The decision comes down to what shipping your old APP to Lee will run you, when you can buy a new Deluxe APP from Midway for $139 with free shipping...Titan is $132, but you have to add shipping.

I'm thinking I'll keep my APP for swagging and such, then add the upgrade to my ACP...when I call them about adding the upgraded, from original, parts for my SPP

I need to add the new Deluxe ACP to the fold for priming.
