Congrats on your Hornady LNL AP and dies purchases...

...and, it's a high quality press.

The deal is really sweetened with the 1,200 bullets...

I don't have enough experience to rate presses or eq. i have rcbs and i like them too. i can't offer much advice, but i have tons of catalogs and ck prices to save$ Natchez sells for less, they do what they say their going to do, and we could use more of that from everybody! lb

I've owned RCBS, Dillon and now Hornady presses, and through experience of using them, I've learned about the value of a quality press...

...especially when loading thousands of rounds.

And, you'll soon have personal experience that the Hornady LNL AP will hold its own, even with the big boys in presses...

...because, it is now one of the big boys in the AP line up.

Also, the deal you got at Natchez is one of the best that I've recently read about...

I have to blame billy for this, after failing to find the paper at 25 yards 5 times in a row for his pistol contest I vowed to get better (3 out of 5 now). For the last week I have been putting 100-200 rounds down range every day after work or at lunch working on my shooting. I have reloaded every single one of them by hand on a single stage rock chucker. The wife gave me clearance for a progressive press. So I was looking at the RCBS Pro 2000 Auto-Index, I was also looking at the Hornady Lock and Load AP. I have seen a couple Dillons in other threads as well but all the gun shops around where i live are Hornady, RCBS, Lee, none of them carry Redding or Dillon near me. I am wondering what would be good. I would like one with more stations rather than less since I plan on seating and crimping in seprate steps, and I will probably bulk reload 223 with an x-sizer die at some point. Here is what I imagine the stations will be like for my Pistol and Rifle. 40 1. Deprime and Resize Die 2. Flare Die and Prime 3. Powder Charge 4. Seat Die 5. Tapper Crimp Die 223 1. Deprime and Lube Die 2. X-Sizer Resize Die and Prime 3. Powder Charge 4. Seat Die 5. Crimp Die I am assuming i will still need to clean the 223 cases after the progressive operations. I guess my questions are. 1. Have I made any glaring errors on my assumed station roles? 2. Are there more than 5 station presses for like a powder check die or something? 3. Anyone using a Pro-2000 or LNL AP I would love to hear your experience. Right now they are pretty much equal in my mind since Hornady fixed the LNL AP ejector wire issue. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

wow
you got serious!
keep that up and you are going to be a heluva shot!
