Hornady LnL Progressive

Got it setup and loaded about 200 rounds on 9mm to break her in. I still can't believe how smooth it's operation is. Looks like a case feeder will be in the works soon.

Cool!

Awesome Progressive

What are you doing with the old one?

[MacGyver]

Nice. Looks like you found a different place to put it, too.

[56FordGuy]

Looks good.

Were they still running the free bullet offer?

[Guest Jeremey]

I have been looking into one of these as well.

[mikegideon]

Cool!

What he said

[Mike]

I don't know what I'm going to do with the old press. I'll probably keep it just in case I want to work up a small batch of something.

They are running the free bullet offer til the end of December.

Yes the workbench is a much better location for the press than the shelf was. I basically had that because I didn't want to drill into my work bench until I knew what I needed, was going to get, and if I even liked reloading at all. Now that that's settled, it's there. It's very sturdy. the workbench weighs about 500lbs so it's not going anywhere.

Jeremy, I looked at quite a few presses before I got mine. I played with some Dillon's, the Hornady LnL, and an RCBS Pro 2000. I liked the Hornady best of all. Ultimate Reloader is a good place to look as well. Gavin has quite a selection of presses and a ton of information on his site.

That's awesome. I've been wanting one of those myself. Unfortunately bills from my broken arm keep coming in...

If you want to get rid of your old press.... DIBS!

I got my feet wet with my Lee Turret and now I have been thinking of that model for a while now,hear great reviews on it...

What I have not figured out yet is the die system...Taper crimp dies are separate from die sets ? I know with my cheap Lee press

It can make even banged up brass come out straight and true and pass the headspace gauge test

Who's die system? Lee or hornady?

I'm using my lee dies on the hornady right now with no problems.

ahhh,,OK.......Thats what I would want to do...

[Mike]

Dies are almost universal. They all have standardized threads.
