    Google for "HORNADY LNL-AP SET UP HINTS AND TRICKS"

    A video series by Bill Morgan AKA 76Highboy.

    A great set by step video guide.

    Bill is real down to earth and easy to listen to.

    Video series is well worth the time spent watching.

    He has many videos.

    Videos cover all the different press systems from

    Cleaning and lubing to Pawl adjustments, Powder Measure, Primer System adjustments,

    Die Set up, Shell Plate set up

    Coating cast bullets

    Some folks are "POWDER COATING" with Electrostatic type guns.

    Ala the HARBOR FREIGHT type systems and paints.

    Others are using the HI-TEK coatings from JM Specialties

    in Australia.

    Bayou Bullet, Gateway Bullets, SNS Casting, Missouri Bullets,

    Black Bullets International, LNL Casting, Black and Blue Bullets,

    and others are now supplying HI-TEK coated projectiles to the marketplace.

    Bayou Bullets and Gateway bullets will sell he product components

    to self casters to coat their own projectiles.

    HI-TEK benefits are LOW/NO Smoke, Clean Barrels, Hands, Dies, No Leading,

    the coating COMPLETELY ENCAPSULATES the lead also.

    These coatings themselves ARE THE LUBE, no waxy lube or even

    lube grooves in the projectiles are required.

    Say GOODBYE to WAXY AND MESSY LUBES, technology has replaced them.

    I only do handgun so,

    If mine that I purchased NEW, I De-Prime on Single Stage, SS Tumble, Dry in

    a Plastic Bin with a box fan blowing down on onto the cases.

    If UNPROCESSED RANGE BRASS (indoor), Tumble with Walnut or Corncob,

    De-Prime on Single Stage, SS tumble, Dry with Bin and Fan, Prime

    with a RCBS BENCH AUTO PRIME.(I altered the primer feed tube by

    adding a new PIN Hole up 3/8" on the Frankfort Arsenal "VIBRE-PRIME"

    unit so it now replaces and works great as the RCBS tubes replacement).

    I do Batches, the clean, sized and primed brass is stored in gallon

    Baggies until I'm ready to load a batch.

    I use Hornady ONE-SHOT lube on my handgun cases EVEN WITH CARBIDE DIES,

    it's easier on me and the equipment. Brian Enos will tell you that.

    LNL indexing snappy and high primer fix.

    leas327,

    If you tighten the lockwasher that way you risk cracking the shellplate.

    Also you have not learned how to correctly install the spring.

    Google for "HORNADY LNL-AP PRESS SET UP HINTS AND TRICKS".

    A complete video series on the press by 76highboy

    The complete series is available at thefirearmsforum also

    in the reloading forum.

    The viseo series is great to watch and learn.

    Did Hornady fix their case feeder problems?

    JayJay1,

    Go ahead and get the Dillon you really want one.

    ALL PRESSES need to be TWEAKED at one time or another.

    I have 2 LNL's one with one without.

    I also have Dillon's.

    I'm close to dropping the Hammer on purchasing a DILLON 1050.

    Somewhere on the INTERNET is a comparison of the HORNADY,DILLON,LEE presses,

    I believe Ultimatereloader.com did it (Gavin Gear) and he knows his stuff,

    He ended up in the end GIVING HORNADY LNL-AP the overall nod by a slight margin.

    ALL PROGRESSIVES HAVE ISSUES AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

    You need to have PATIENCE with them AND RELOADING IN GENERAL.

    HOW MUCH LOADED AMMO DO YOU REQUIRE MONTHLY/YEARLY?

    Turrets, The Hornady LNL-AP, The Dillon 650, WITHOUT CASE-FEEDERS

    are capable of turning out a boatload of ammo, so is the Dillon 550,

    which is a manual index 4 station machine (you MUST really pay attention

    with it to AVOID DOUBLE CHARGES).

    The DILLON/HORNADY comparison battle will really rage on as it's a

    DO YOU LIKE YOUR FORD OR CHEVY BETTER THING.

    All colors of presses RED-GREEN-BLUE have good equipment, AND MARKETING HYPE!

    If you truly need bunches of ammo, and a case-feeder, the Dillon 1050

    is your machine (not cheap) and you should reload 4000 rounds a month

    IN A SINGLE CALIBER WITH IT before changeovers (which are also expensive).

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CHOICES.

    RockyTheDog,

    I'm slightly amused sir that you would put up with this Bad/Poor designed

    press for 3 years and your struggles with it in making your 150,000 rounds.

    I believe that's a 1000 rounds per week you struggled with,

    every week for 3 years, GIVE ME A BREAK, if YOU think it

    was that much of a piece of junk, you should have dumped it.

    It only cost a few hundred $$$$ and NO WAY WOULD I STRUGGLE

    FOR 3 YEARS MAKING 150,000.

    Whoa, Wait you loaded 150,000 rounds with it, it served you well.
