Ordering New LNL or USED 550 Please advice
Requirements:
Fast Loading (Shooting 4000 to 5000 45ACP & 3000 40S&W per month)
Easy Change Over .40 to .45 ACP
Reliable, meaning powder loads don't change much after XXX of rounds.
I wanted a Dillon 650, but the wife pulled the purse strings closed at $500.00 so after A LOT of research I have decided to get the Hornady LNL - AP because I can't find a 650 used for a low enough price.
I KNOW many of you are blue guys and almost as many are hed hats, but the bottom line from reading ALL the threads in this forum seems to be that you really can't go wrong either way since these are the top presses.
IT'S LIKE FORD OR CHEVY RIGHT??
I can probably sneak another $100 from my left pocket for a total budget of $600.00 and of course I can buy stuff over time in the coming months.
SO, Is there anything you all think I should add to my order or swap for something else?
From Lock Stock N Barrel:
$338.00 Hornady LNL AP Press
$24.95 #1 Shell Plate
$56.00 .45 ACP Dies
$24.95 Powder Cop
$56.00 1200 Turbo Tumbler
$7.00 Case Sifter
$100.00 Electronic Scale
606.90 TOTAL
NEW OPTION !!!!!! TUESDAY FEB 20 @ 10AM

OK PEOPLE!! CHECK THIS OUT!!!
A local member of my USPSA club just called and said he would sell me his 550 with .45 / .38 dies & Conv. Kits, Strong Mount, Roller Handle, 2 Change-Overs, Sensors for Powder & Primers ..... $300.00
SOOOOOOO!!!!
I am now going the Dillon route with $300 LEFT OVER TO UPGRADE?????
What do you all think????? LNL or 550 then buy the case feed?
Thanks,
Joe
