Load primer tubes ---- One primer at a time
Just finished setting up the case feeder attachment on mine... I had to put a spacer on the drive lug of the case plate so that it reliably engaged. Very annoying. Works nice now...
Now I need to setup the proper powder level and get a rcbs powder lockout die.
Then let the 40's commence.
You will love the L&L ap it is a great machine you have made a great choice, you won't complian about caliber and primer change over like the Dillon guys
How thick of a spacer did you use? I have only had trouble with .223 on mine so far with the case feeding, I thought most of that was because of the narrow based case and being tipsy...
But know that you mention it,if there was more space between the shell plate and the drive they would not get caught in the edge of the plate?
I have done 9mm, .357 mag and 45 with no isuses what so ever...

welcome aboard..........they are great machines.
As a matter of fact I think I might have to spend some quality time with mine today.

...after the case feeder shovels the driveway
shovel what?
Are you speaking of snow?
Hell my grass is GREEN!
..OK..."after the bullet feeder gets done mowing the lawn"

i have a dillon 650, and yes it sucks to change primer and calibers systems
that's why i have looked at getting another press for my 9mm.
grizzly, dont know if this is what your after. with my primer tubes I took a CD case (new thin ones) used some nippers to cut the little tabs out that hold the CD in the case and use that. open it on the table put the primers on one side, close it and flip it over. works great.

I take about 2 or 3 minutes to go from one caliber to anthother with my LNL.
That is a total change over say from .45 to 9mm
New primer size.
New plate
New dies
New powder measure.
I Love my L&L w Case feeder too
. Tipsy case = simple solution. Cut yourself a 1 1/2 " x 1 1/2 " section out of a thick Ziplock (or similar source) plastic bag and grab a 1 1/2" length of scotch tape. Wrap the plastic piece around the drop tube so that about 1 1/4" extends below the tube opposite the spacer. Tape it in place. Problem over
.That was the hard part of getting going. I had a hey of a time getting shell plates, expander inserts and bushings etc.
I managed to get some stuff sent right from Hornady after a long wait.
It was worth the wait as said above the calibers change over is quick so I am set up to load 9 mm,38,357,44 mag and 45 LC at any given time.
I need more primer fill tubes to make it quicker to load once I get going. The case feeder would be a great addition as well. I have spent all my money on primers, powder and bullits to feed that pig.

Right on, thanks I will give that a try...
Frankford Arsenal Vibra-Prime if you can find one used (no longer made). Have a look toward the end of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHCYnILM6u8
Failing that, if you have enough money to make your time relatively more valuable, the Dillon RF100 can be made to work: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t87393.html

I own a Hornedy Projector for 17 years now and love it.
I just bought a L-N-L and its even better, I think Hornedy makes great heavy duty presses, and the L-N-L system is a great idea, so easy and fast to change calibers.
