Having to switch calibers when press is running perfectly

[techj]

So, for the past 1,500+ rounds of 9mm everything has been running great -- including the case feeder & bullet feeder (LNL). No raining brass, cases not tipping over, no major stoppages, etc.

But, I am out of N340 and I am low on 45's and so need to change up for another caliber.

Not that it's a problem or very time consuming but I hate it when the press is running perfectly and I have to switch everything over to another caliber.

Time for a second press!!

That was my solution. Unfortunately, with six calibers to load, I quickly ran out of bench space...... and money.

My solution when that gets close is to load a large amount of whatever the press is setup for so I can get ahead, and then switch over.

The only real issue I find with caliber conversions is proper shell plate tension. Once you get the nak for setting that you won't have any issues getting it run perfectly when switching.

2nd press isn't an option until my better half's memory fades on the last pistol purchase
