Still confused, The LNL has more room between die stations than most progressive presses...AR-Bossman said:With all 5 stations full, even getting to my bushing is next to impossible
Why not?you sure as heck aren't gonna turn the whole powder measure to get it out.
Tylenol may help with this scenario,,,I don't care if you are confused. For hell sakes guys. I'm not gonna take pictures and give measurements or do a video demo. I really don't care how you take your stupid powder measure off you press. Kick it off, punch it off... I DON'T CARE.
How else would you do it???Don't worry 9mm, I do the same as you. Just unlock the bushing with a twist and lift the whole powder measure out and dump the powder into a funnel sitting on top of the powder bottle. Pick up the baffle and drop it back into the hopper and twist the whole thing back into the press with a 1/4 turn. Can't be simpler than that. I guess some people can't unlock their dies from the "Lock n Load" press. If they have a different way of dumping the powder and it works for them, that's great.
Lock n Load AP???
I'm thinking of buying a LNL AP but before I do would like to here some of the pros and cons. I currently use a single stage and want to get a progressive press to reload 223, 45, 9mm 38/357. I will continue to use my single stage for larger caliber rifle cartridges.
From what I understand I will need to buy my shell plates separate. What else doesn't come with it that is absolutely necessary to get started? I do see a few accessories I will eventually get at time and money permits.
I didn't care for that either. I just bit the bullet and got a Vibra prime...and extra tubesOnly thing I don't like is the primer feeding tube. I don't care for picking them up one at a time with the pickup tube
Frankford Arsenal makes a vibratory primer tube filler which is hit and miss for $50.00.Well after listening to you guys on the forum, You Tube videos and some research I pulled the trigger on a new press. Got is all cleaned and set up it runs like a champ so far. I've cranked out 500 rounds with it already with a few minor issues. Mainly operator error getting familiar with the equipment. Only thing I don't like is the primer feeding tube. I don't care for picking them up one at a time with the pickup tube. Other than that I'm a happy camper.
