New Hornady Press In Route

[Bro KV]

I ordered a Hornady Lock N Load Progressive press this weekend (should be here Friday). Ordered shell plates for 223, 10mm and 45ACP. Also ordered Hornady XTP expander/powder through dies in 10mm and 45ACP. Got 12 bushings for the dies. Pretty stoked.

Awesome.  Please post up a review when you get the press.  I have long thought this press was the real price/feature/quality contender.

I have a LnL AP.  some upgrades you'll want

Universal Powder Through Expander:

Ergo handle and strong mount

RCBS powder lockout die

I have the bullet feeder and the case feeder.  The case feeder is great.  The bullet feeder is less useful.

I ordered PTX dies for 10mm and 45ACP

Also ordered the powder through funnel as well. Going to really sit down with this bad boy and get it setup

I have a powder cop already for this so the lockout die is not needed.

Also the handles are cool but is there anything wrong with the stock handle?

Awesome!  Did it show up today?  LOL, I suppose if it did you probably wouldn't be hanging around here till at least tomorrow.

Well, I received my press on Friday. I went to set it up on my bench and realized it set way too low. Thanks for the advice on in-line fabrications.com, I ordered the ergo handle and strong mount this weekend so hopefully I'll have it this week

The inline fabrication light kit is the balls too. I got the one with the optional ceiling light add on

The lockout die is nicer than the powder cop because its stops the press from indexing if there is a high/low powder situation.

[Hairtrigger]

Forget the strong mount, unless you want the press higher than your bench. In this case a trip to your local scrap metal yard or welding shop will save you enough to buy well over 100 bullets just by using a piece of Ibeam which is way stronger than a "strong mount"
I use an older pair of Hornady progressive presses. Here are the mods I did.

here is an easy way to dump powder

I am having issues getting the expander die working. I have Redding dies in my Hornady press and using Rainier 230gr plated bullets (.451 diameter)

I really like the pool ball handle, looks good and gives good leverage:



there is a guy on the glocktalk forum that makes these, you can search for "pool ball handle" and find his info
