I wish that Hornaday would make a Turrent style press with their lock and load bushings.
Actually I have Lyman T-Mag that a friend gave me, which has been fine. But I look at the Hornaday LnL Classic with envy - to my mind, if the LnL works the way it's been advertised, it looks like a more elegant solution to the "change dies quickly" problem than a turret.
The turret, at least the one I have, just creates a system that allows me to leave a bunch of dies pre-adjusted, and to switch between the dies pretty quickly.
Doesn't LnL give me the same benefit with a whole lot less mechanism?
By the way, that's a question, not an argument
I am not quite sure how the LnL works, but can't you adjust your dies once, and leave them in some bushing that slips in and out of the press?
It seems as though - if I understand the LnL - slipping the bushings in and out of the LnL press is logically the equivalent of turning the turret?
If that's true, then the turret substitutes a big hunk of moving cast iron for the bushing. While the concern is largely theoretical, since that big hunk of cast iron has to be able to spin, then you've introduced an axle that can flex a little, etc. Looks like more moving parts to me.
Does a turret have any advantage over an LnL Classic?
