Who's got the best price on Hornady LNL AP?

If you aren't getting or using a case feeder then you should be ok with it.
Between issues with the case feeder itself and the shell plate not retaining the case retention spring low enough to ensure snag free auto case feeding, I was spending more time playing with the machine vs loading.

Having said that, I used mine for close to 3 years and loaded many many rounds on it before I retired it.

Don't know if it is a fair comparison, but the Hornady is not as good as the Dillon I currently use (1050). Not even close.
Anyway, that is irrelevant at this point.

Off topic, Trinimon, I actually still have that walnut media if you still want it.
Let me know.
 
haha, I don't think that LNL press is anywhere in the same neighbourhood of a 1050. lol

Thanks Pauls but I switched over to stainless steel tumbling last fall.
 
Me too, which is why I totally forgot to get in touch with you about it.

Good luck with the LNL.
If you need any help with it, let me know.
 
One other - no, two other things I gotta point-out about the LnL AP:

1) I watched the video on the 650 last night - it looks like the primer size is a lot quicker to change on the LnL - maybe a Dillon user or two could correct me on that - although the 650 primer feed looks like you would not have to run it completely out before changing or you'd get live primers all over the floor...

2) The LnL is emphatically, a LEFT-HANDED reloading press. I'm a leftie - the cartridges 'n bullets go on from the left side (it looks to be just about impossible to put a bullet in from the right side, the press body itself is squarely in the way), so my dexterous arm is in there doing the fine stuff while the big meat clobber is down working the handle, where it belongs.
 
I have a new LNL that's not even set-up, however I felt I'd comment on the above.

With my single press (RCBS), I do the "finesse" work with my right hand. Ie, the handle. I find it very odd to do all the other work with the right and lever with the left.

Maybe I'm odd, but I prefer my "proper" hand on the lever and the non-proper hand doing the other items. I have no issues placing projectiles, removing brass, etc this way.

To each their own, but I don't think I'd call it a left handed press for that reason.
