I had an LNL and also took me awhile to get running but was running well. I went to x-10 cause of swaging and extra stations so I can run powder check with bullet feeder. Didn't take me too long to get running well. I did shim shell plate up .008 at 20,000 rounds main bearings started making noise and my COAL went from +-.005 to +-.010. The bearing journals are a little big and bearings start to move. I replaced bearings with Koyo bearing and used green loctite and press is a lot smoother and my COAL is +-.005 or better. I've had problems with priming station but mostly from forgetting to put primer rod back in jams happen when you run it out of primers. The only issue I have now is the occasional station 1 brass not going in to shell plate but that's less than 1% of the time. I'm happy with the press and would do it again. I have not used powder drop I had a the Hornady already set so been using that so can't speak to any issues with powder drop. An I have a Mr bullet feeder that was on my LNL.
