I've got my Hornady LNL progressive up and running, and am very pleased with it. I've made about 400 rounds of .45ACP in the last few days, getting the "hang of it."
Watching the online videos was extremely helpful in getting started. I've been using a single stage for several years, and actually began reloading in 1995 with a Dillon SDB.
One of the things I've noticed is that the spring that retains the case on the shellplate sometimes get caught at one of the corners of the shellplate, and getting it out involves damage to the spring, to the point that it's useless. I ordered a couple of spares from Midway, but would appreciate any input on why this happens and what I can do to minimize or eliminate it.
Many thank
