microham Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Has anyone had hands on experience using the Lee App press to decap 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yes, I have one and it works great AFTER you tweak it which is no small feat. It took me hours to get it adjusted. I hooked it up to my Dillon case feeder and it works like a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kema Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I have read that swaging is not good enough using lee APP press with 223 brass. I was hoping to get one for that purpose only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igolfat8 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I just removed the Dillon feed tube and connected a flexible tube to the Lee APP. I also made a wood support to hold the tube into the APP. Hope that is explanatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeg Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Wondering with the new roller handle lee is releasing is the Dillion rapid trimmer will fit? https://leeprecision.com/app-roller-handle-upgrade-kit.html people are also making the roller handles themselves looks easy enough http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?390198-It-s-official-Lee-will-be-releasing-an-quot-upside-down-quot-bullet-sizing-press&p=4888177&viewfull=1#post4888177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if it would but does Lee even remotely care about Dillon compatibility? You'll probably have to make something or hope Inline Fab comes out with something that will work.

IrishPsych Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Anyone have reviews on the swaging? I set it up and swaged a few. Honestly can’t get a feel for the swaging. Followed the manual on where to place the rod. Says there should be 25lbs of force, how do I calculate that?? I guess I can prime a few and see.

I was lost when setting up the swaging on my Mk7 until I bought the go no-go gauge from Ballistics Tools. https://ballistictools.com/store/. Then it all came together. Make sure the primer pocket is reasonably clean when using the gauge for the best results. Also, use the gauge to check if the primer has already been swaged before swaging and making adjustments. Seems like common sense, but I learned both lessons the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDIllon Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I use the APP for everything except swaging. Decap and size, went to hand primer, use it for seating and crimping 223s. Nice inexpensive way to load 223/556. Use inexpensive Lee powder drop. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
