Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Dang Dan...that fairly sux! Listen Ya'll......I bought mine from Dan along with a bunch of other stuff. All of it was awesome quality. I'd encourage everyone on this forum to buy straight from Dan. He's a great guy to do business with.
  2. Thanks. One came with my LNL...just didn't know how important it was. Won't hurt to try it.
  3. If you use the powderfunnel.com expander on an LNL, do you still have to use the PTX powder measure stop gizmo on the powder measure like you do for the Hornady PTX?
  4. I have a set of Hornady case gauges that are used with the Comparator. Naturally, I'll use them to set up the full length sizer die such as for my AR. Is it necessary to use the gauge to set up a sizing die that will only be used to neck size such as for my .223 bolt? I fire form brass in it so I'm not sure about the need to bump the shoulders back in those cases.
  5. I ended up buying several Hornady powder dies as well as several powder measure inserts. Now I keep the powder dies with the inserts together with the appropriate loading die set. Makes changing calibers a breeze. Also found it better in my case to buy powder measure inserts ( both standard and handgun) for each caliber. They are cheaper than the micrometers and I don't have to dial up a load setting for each time I change calibers. Now I just insert the meter, check the powder weight for accuracy and load away. Easy.
  6. Try washing the hopper with a liquid detergent like Dawn. Then, don't rinse. Let it air dry. Works for me on my powder funnels etc.
  7. Thanks Rob, no you're not wrong. I'm loading for an AR on this set up. For my .223 bolt, I don't crimp at all. Just never thought about the head space deal. Glad I posted this.
  8. Why crimp was my question too. As far as head space gauges go, I've really never used one. I have a set of Hornady Stoney Point Comparator I use often for seating depth. Guess I'll get the 5 bushing set that goes with it to measure head space.
  9. Thanks. I wasn't aware that I needed a crimp. I'll probably try the Lee Factory Crimp die.
  10. PM sent to PC Geek Shooter on expander.
  11. I've read so many threads on how to do this I'm confused. Is there a reason why I cannot put a sizing depriming die in station #1, the powder measure in #2, powder check in #3 and the seating die in #4? This is for an AR using RCBS FL 2 die set. Will it work OK or am I missing something? All case prep will of course be done before hand.
  12. As I said in an earlier post, I sold a 550 to buy the LNL. I find the priming to be a LOT smoother with the LNL. Most of my problems with the 550 related to primer feed and adjustment. So far, (maybe 2000 rounds) zero problems with the LNL. Just a note..even though you use carbide dies, go ahead and lube the cases...it makes pulling the handle so much smoother.
  13. I first loaded all of the test loads on the LNL. Then when I found the one I liked ( the 4831 load) I also threw the powder on the charge master. My LNL powder measure gave no indication that it wasnt accurate, in fact, it threw 20 test charges all on the money. Its just hard to break the charge master habit. Then, I guess if I'm gonna do that, I may as well seat on the rock chucker too. Defeats the purpose of the progressive doesn't it?
