I just placed an order for my Hornady LnL AP progressive press and add ons yesterday.
I'm upgrading from my Lee single stage so I already have all my dies, scales, etc.
I'm wondering if I missed anything?
My friend ordered the same setup except he added the shellplate and bullet feeder die for 38/357 also.
We were told to expect everything by mid February.

I'll be using it to load .45ACP and 9mm for now.

Thanks,

I ordered from a place local to me called Londero Sports.
I was surprised that his prices were competitive with Midwayusa even if I picked it up from my US address.
My total cost was $1431.07 +tx

X2 on the springs, they're cheap and come in a 3 pack.

Go to the Hornady site and download the manual. Start reading that now, it'll make things a lot easier when your gear arrives. Note you'll have to buy mounting bolts/washers, get the dimensions from the manual and thickness of your bench.

I used aerosol electrical contact cleaner for cleaning up my powder charge unit and rotors (you'll need to do this) and some Jigaloo aerosol graphite lubricant too (careful, this stuff can be messy).
 
Careful with the Jig-A-loo: some plastics are attacked by its solvent. As for the lubricant itself, it is very good for nylon bearings; I use it for my Dillon Square Deal wave bushings. Silicone car door rubber spray isn't bad too.
PP.
 
just bought a dillon xl650 myself set up for 38/357, .32acp, 9mm, 45. With a ton of extras and tax and delivery it was around the same price and got here in about 5 days. I was impressed.

I also moved up from a single stage Lee!

Oh Yes ! To clarify, I was referring to the "Graphite" green can, not the standard orange can. Green can Jigaloo emits a jet black dry graphite lubricant. It stays where it goes, including the black color, so careful what you get it on.
 
Thanks for the replies,

I've been working non stop the past week since the temperature began to drop.

I ordered a can of Hornady one shot cleaner and dry lube and the extra springs.
I also ordered the PTX expanders and a primer flip tray which I forgot last time.
I watched the whole 12 part Hornady assembly video on their youtube channel a couple of times already and I've read through the manual before ordering.

I'm assuming with no bullet feeder and possibly no case feeder for that price if tax is also included.
When I priced the XL650 with all I needed for 2 calibers it was over $2000 + tx with a case feeder and Mr Bulletfeeder.
It's a nice machine though.
