Lee dies in Hornady LnL AP?

[COREY]

I have a Lee Pro 100 with die sets for 9mm, 45ACP, 38 Special, and 357 magnum (easier to use to sets than monley around adjusting dies). I have wanted a faseter press with 5 stations to allow for separate seating and crimping, so I am planning on buying a Hornady LnL AP.

Does anyone here have experience with using Lee dies in a LNL? I thought I read somegwere that the Lee dies could be a bit short to run in the Hornady. It would save me a fair amount of cash (ergo afford it quicker) if all I have to do is get a bunch of LnL bushings, shell paltge, and case mouth expanders for each case diameter for the powder feeder.

Thanks in advnace for any help you can give me.

Old Lee dies may be short. The last few years (I don't know exactly when they made the change) the dies are longer and will work just fine.

I just measured the oldest bullet seating die (9mm from around 3-4 years ago) to my newest bullet seating die and the length from the top of the threads to the bottom of the dies is 1.8". Does that sound like nthe proper length to work? It is going to get expensive if I have to buy 4 sets of dies as well as the press and case feeder and a whole pile of other little things.

I run an lnl ap with lee 9mm dies. They ate screwed in almost all of the way, but I've had no issues with them.
