Hack Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I’m still in line to get Hornady’s EZeject kit. The 8 shell plates that I sent to Hornady on 3/20/09 were returned to me, retrofitted for the EZeject, yesterday, 4/14/09. Each in a real nice plastic container of its own - even had the Shell Plate Number on the case. But there was no EZeject kit. So, I called to see why. I wondered if they had forgotten me. I talked to Jennifer. She asked if my press’s SN was below 7000, I said “yes”. She said there was a list of folks getting the kit and proceeded to look for my name on it. She found my name, I’m on the list, so, I’ll just have to be patient – She said they were on “Backorder” and couldn’t give me an ETA. Well, with the return of my shell plates I think can again use my “old” LnL – I read somewhere that the retrofitted shell plates still work on a non-EZeject LnL press. We’ll see.

20nickels Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yes, no reason you cannot use your retrofitted plates with the wire eject. Word is they are very busy over there with several of their product lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdiker1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 How is s/n 7000 significant? The reason I ask is I ordered the ezject kit for mine which is above s/n 10000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I just ordered my retro fit kit today. I was told 4-6 weeks for the shell plates. Didn't think to ask about the kit. i was told they would send it out. Didn't sound like it was out of stock. Oh well guess I'm on the list also.

Hack Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Someone on another Forum told me they were sending out 150 kits next week. I hope I'm in that number. Hack PS - As I was told, I now know that they do work on the wire subplate Edited April 17, 2009 by Hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but I guess the old "wire eject" LnL must be under S/N 7000. Hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Sub 7000 S/N's had a different subplate which had to be changed out to use a case feeder. HERE There were also a couple minor changes at S/N 10,000 and up but nothing huge. The only one I can remember is the spring on the powder drop was changed and shortened. It runs in my mind that the pre 7K press/sub plate has something different about the way it attaches to the press but it's been a while since I researched it.

hdiker1 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ok, I'm good to go. Thought maybe I missed something. I ordered my subplate kit the first of March so I'm hoping to be in the 150 group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I called them back a moment ago (Fri, Apr 17) and talked to "Bob". I discovered that I am #65 on the list, with 110 kits shipping out next week. Maybe it won't be long now. I reminded Bob my LnL's S/N is 13XXX. Bob said I got the right kit, because the price I am being charged is $29.99 (the other is $59.99). I guess LnLs under 7000 have to get the more expensive kit.

hdiker1 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hack, have you received your subplate yet? The reason I ask is you stated you were #65 on the list and I believe I ordered mine before you and I didn't get mine yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm still waiting, too. hack Just received my subplate today and just installed it. Haven't tried reloading with it yet, but did cycle some empty brass and some loaded rounds (.223). It's alot better than snagging on the spring ejector and having some go flying across the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20nickels Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I guess that means I can send in my beloved #45 plate to be machined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
