looks like Midway is out of stock on the springs, just like they always are in the case of anything slightly popular...

the "retainer spring" is the long spring that goes around the outside edge of the shellplate right? Yeah, I was going to ask if I should some extras of those. Can you eyeball the powder in the case while sitting at the machine, or would it be above eye level? I don't see much difference in...

what other items do I HAVE to order for me to start using the LnL immediately? I've been reloading for 20 years, so I have all dies, electronic scale, and all other reloading tools and supplies. Don't have a powder cop die. Do I only need one of those for all calibers...? Are they all the...

yeah, I'm getting ready to order the LnL from Midsouth. They have the next best price after ManVentures. I was thinking it came with one shellplate, but I guess it doesn't. I would probably order the #1 plate, since I shoot a lot of 30-06, 308 and .45acp. I hope it works ok for .45, that is...

thanks for that tip. I never heard of that place, but yep, they do have the cheapest price on the LnL. However, they are OOS, and estimate 3 months before any more are available. :( I've never loaded with a progressive before, so now I'm thinking I may just get the LnL AP itself, and hold...

sheesh, I've been going to saxet shows for many years and I never noticed it was Texas spelled backwards...

I also use a Chargemaster, and I love it. It isn't super-fast, as emercer4 said above, but I only load 50 rounds or less at a time, so it works great for me. kit seems kind of expensive to me too. I mean, what's the big diff from buying the stuff separately.... like Forney said.

yeah, that was basically what I was wondering. I wasn't sure how long ago Hornady improved the press with the ez-ject. I was just wondering if places are still selling the older versions. I would be mad if I bought a new press and it still had the old eject system (I know Hornady would help...

man, I haven't been to THR in a loooooong time. Been getting back into reloading and I was thinking about getting an LnL press and case feeder. I have been reading about them, including some improvements made to older versions. Instead of stealing one of the other LnL threads, I'll start...

I recently got my first saiga, a 223 16" carbine. I then ordered the side mount from CSS, which I don't see it on their website anymore. It's an aluminum mount, made in china. I'm not confident in the solidness of it however, although I have not tried it yet. It's a QR mount, but it doesn't...

hmmm, but is it dirty?

I drive right by a Sportsman's Warehouse every day on the way home from work. It would be nice if they had powder & primers in stock more often. 3 times out of 5 they are out of whatever I'm looking for. Hairballus... thanks for that info.

yeah, I know about the $20 hazmat being everywhere. I was wondering about the $9.99 extra shipping fee. I still wouldn't order this stuff thru the mail, especially when powder & primers are 2 separate $20 fees. I would maybe go in with a buddy on a powder/primer order from PowderValley or...

I order from midway all the time, but I've never ordered hazmat stuff. Does this mean they charge regular shipping, PLUS an additional $9.99, PLUS the $20 hazmat? what a rip, if so...!

what I'm wondering is how he wants to make guns "childproof"...
