After fooling around with this projector press for the past few months, I thought about just going and getting the Hornday LNL AP by the years end because of the bullet offer. The projector works like a champ but it just jams on the 9mm cases if you get out of tempo with it on a session. Even with the new shell plate. I have read somewhere that they even jam on the lnl so I don't know if I would be gaining anything by making the switch. Other than that it's a great press. But with escalating prices of primers, bullets, ect... I am a little reluctant to spend the money. I mean if it keeps going up I won't be able to afford to even reload.
The local store has wsp primers going for 37.00 per thousand now. This is up another 10.00 in one month. There bullets are still at 28.00 per 500 for x-treme 9mm 115's. But after these are gone I would imagine the new shipment will reflect higher prices. Copper is going into the stratosphere. I won't shoot lead bullets. I always shoot at a indoor range.
I could buy online, but then there's the hazmat fee. Places like Natchez Shooting Supples have raised there bullets up another 10.00 since last month. Where is it going to stop?
My reasoning is that if I buy the LNL for lets say 400.00 + shipping out the door with the two shell plates that I would need. I could sell the projector for atleast 175.00 on ebay, and then sell the bullets that you get with the press and make it so I probably would have to come out with around lets say around 100.00 to 150.00. Does this sound about right?
What do you guys think?
