Mason Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I’m looking at buying a hornady LNL for mostly pistol caliber reloading, where is the best/cheapest to buy from? I’ve seen prices vary from $375-480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckinMS Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 If you have an account at Midway usa and you get a birthday discount, I would buy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Free Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I Searched and checked prices all over for a few months and I bought my LNL AP from Natchez around the holidays. They have the best price plus they had $35 off any order of $350 or more. Package was solid with no damaged parts, very satisfied with Natchez!

StuckinMS Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It's a great press. Added a Mr. Bullet feeder and have well over 200,000 rounds through mine. You will want to buy a new plastic powder hopper at some point. Hornady's discolored. Search the forum for the dealer who makes the replacements.

sustratiotes Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I got mine at Midsouth and have been happy with it. https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/00005095100/lock-n-load-ap-auto-progressive-press Midsouth took care of a problem I had with a brass tumbler, so I check there first when I'm shopping.

HDRKC07 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I also got mine at Midsouth Shooters Supply. It was the best price at the time of purchase, press was in great shape when it arrived and shipping was pretty quick. I agree with StuckinMS; it's a great press. I recently added the Hornady case feeder and a Mr Bullet Feeder bullet dropper die with the Bully Mag-P feeder tube assembly. Initially took some tweaking, but got the "bugs" worked out and it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhand Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Another option is Bass Pro Shops. They'll price match with any online store if you show them the listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk I got one of these for Christmas. It’s very nice and durable. Before owning one my hopper would come loose when I would dump my powder back into the bottle after I was done loading. The Dram Worx hopper stays put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks for all the reply’s! I ended up getting it from midsouth for right under 400$ and free shipping. I got it set up and couldn’t be happier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokarev Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I got it set up and couldn’t be happier They are solid machines. I have a 650 and a LNL and think they're more alike than people would have you think. Both machines are only 5 station so they can be pretty limited if you want to run a bullet feeder and a powder check along with a stand alone crimp die. The Hornady shell plate is a little bigger around and gives a bit more room to reach a bullet that tips off the case while indexing or a case that falls over. I think I also prefer the output tray on the left side although in function it really makes no real difference. The Dillon shines in aftermarket support. I also prefer the two-pin tool head over the bushing system of the Hornady. The Dillon powder measure is better too. I have an older measure with the big springs that reset the bar and use this on both presses. I also use the Lee Auto Drum. Primer systems on both kind of stink. Depending on what I'm doing I'll quite often prime up a bunch of brass with a hand tool before I load. This allows me to quickly look at each primed case and run a thumbnail over the primer to make sure it is seated. But this is really only something I worry about when running milsurp brass. Speaking of milsurp brass; take a look at Hornady's swage setup for the Lock N Load. It replaces the shell plate and uses three dies up top. It works well and is the best thing I've found other than a 1050 for working primer pockets. Too bad they don't make the swage system for 9mm. I am actually surprised they don't.
