Hornady lock & load

Well, in the states they range from 340 - 400 I think. On top of that, you get 1000 free bullets in the caliber of your choice. It would be cheaper to order it to the states and pick it up if you have the means. The bullets are now available to Canadians, so you can order those right to your house.

When I bought it, the exchange was better and it worked out to be around 250 CAD after subtracting the value of the bullets. For shooting high volume of pistol ammo, an auto indexing press is worth it to me.
 
Near as I can tell 340-400 US turns into 600 canadian by the time it gets to my house with taxes.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Tell me about this press!

thanks
 
I got mine from the States last year. I paid $340 for it. I also got the 1000 free bullets but I had to go the import/export route so it took about six weeks for them to arrive and they cost me $25 to Hornady and $30 to the exporter. Still a very good deal all round. I've made 5k-6k rounds total so far. 9mm, .40, 10mm, and .50AE. I just picked up a 1911 in .45 so I'll be reloading for that and I'm hoping to get one of those RFB's so I'll be loading .308 too. It really is an amazing machine. I can switch between the calibers in about three minutes, or 10 seconds if I don't have to change the primer size. And the best part is they are all still calibrated exactly the same as the last time I did them. The bushing system is awesome for that.
 
Have a look at the search function for a thread that someone posted. In it someone had a pdf file containing a very detailed description of 3 major progressive presses, (Lee, Hornady & a Dillon). I thought the article was very well written and gave an unbiased report on all 3 with strenghts and weaknesses. If I knew how I would post the link here, but sadly I'm not sure how to do that (Can someone else help here?)

I want to get into reloading in a few months when the pocket book and take the hit, and after reading the article I made up my mind to buy the hornady, but please read it for yourself (if you can find it) or maybe someone else will give you the link.

Read away my friend. Knowledge is power...................

I searched to the best of my abilities.

I have no idea how post a link either:confused:

Would like to read that.
 
 
I'm happy with mine; glad I didn't go Dillon route as it works just as well and cost me way less than Dillon 650.

Really? I thought they were pretty close in price. I bought a Dillon RL550B for $540 and I think the 650 was only $100 more.

To the OP: Check out the Dillon 550 & 650 they are great machines.
 
Ok, I bought my LNL in US when CAD$ was on par with US$ and cost me $380. Then, you need to count in shell plates, and IIRC Hornady's cost less. Ready to go LNL should be cheaper than 650...
Both come with lifetime warranty too.
 
It's great for loading out pistol rounds. I can do 3000 in a day. Rifle rounds not so much. they are much slower. The biggest problem is the ejector wire, but I gave up on that and just hand eject when I go to seat the next bullet.

I don't know if it's me or what, but I do find I spend alot of time adjusting things with the LNL.
 
Thanks guys for the link and the feedback. Sure wish I would have had more disposible cash when the dollar was higher. I kinda like to buy closer to home because if we don't support these business' they may go away. I can get it from WSS in town for $569.00 + tax. I know some here beat up on WSS but I've found since the Americans went back home the service isn't to bad. I guess the $100 a week I spend there is important to them
