I was wondering if the Hornady lnl classic single stage press would make a good companion for my LNL AP? I’m thinking a single stage for those miscellaneous tasks where a single stage press may be more appropriate than a progressive press – working up low quantity loads, decaping, sizing rifle...

What dies should I get to reload .380 in an LNL? I use Hornady die sets for .45, .38/.357, 9mm, .223 but was wondering if there is a particular die set that is more suitable for the .380? Also, can folks recommend a bullet to use? I'm on the road right now and won't be near my reloading books...

I have a very heavy duty bench in my shop that I am going to use for the reloading bench. This bench is made out of large timbers and is extremely heavy and stable. It currently has a plywood top over the timbers and has been used for mechanic work up until now, and it is pretty chewed up. I...

I recently received an LCP and am in the process of gathering the dies and bullets needed to reload this caliber (have the powder and primers on hand). In the mean time I wanted to purchase some factory ammo so I could shoot the gun and use the brass for future reloading. I purchased 5...

Recently received an LCP and need to get a die set for this caliber that will work well on the LNL AP press. All of my current die sets are Hornady. The Hornady dies have worked ok I suppose, although I think the fit and finish is below that of the old Pacific die sets I've used in a...

I have put off getting the keltec or the Ruger .380 for sometime now, in part because of the ammo availability and cost situation, and I'm a bit ocd about keeping the number of calibers to a minimum for simplicities sake. However, after trying a bunch of pocket pistols the keltec or the Ruger is...

I have some spotting of surface rust on a couple of items that I'd like to take care of. One is the LNL shellplates that Hornady reworked and shipped back to me. A couple of them returned with surface rust spots on them. I'm assuming this is unprotected metal after the machining process so it...

I load .38/.357, 9mm, .45, .223, and 30.06 on an LNL AP with Hornady dies and powder measure. I have ordered an rcb lockout die to add to the rotation, and as such would like to go to the powder through expander method for powder drop. I'm confused as to what parts I need to order to add...

How do you have your five stations set up for pistol? How about revolver, any different? Do you use any sort of powder check in one of the stations to check for proper fill in the case? Which one, and how do you like it? Last time I researched the hornady powder through expanders there...

I have the midway tumbler, can't remember the model number but I think it is the same as the FA they sell now. For those of you who have this machine how much .45 brass or equivalent can be run in one batch and still have it be effective.

3 years ago I purchased an M1 and 03 from CMP and put them in the safe. Now I have some time to shoot them I'm wondering what prep work needs to be done before shooting, how to clean them afterwords, and how to lube them afterwords. I seem to recall obtaining a bunch of little cups of grease...

I'd like to get a chrony and was wondering what type you all use? At my gun club we can uses a chronograph but I would need one that provided the readout back at the shooting bench, not just on the chorny itself. Maybe they all do this nowadays? I will only be able to adjust/move it during...

I received four new hornady die sets and I thought I read somewhere that the die box was design to hold the die with the LNL bushing attached and secured to the bushing. True or false? The cases are nice in that they have a spot for the taper crimp dies as well as the three dies that come in...

I purchased some of the hornady 3 die sets to use with an LNL AP and had a few questions maybe folks could shed some light on: 1. Should I clean the lube off of these before using them? If so, what method is best? Do you disassemble the die to do so? 2. What is the best method of getting...

Do you guys use these steady bags for your range shooting? http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=SE40413&src=BE267 What's the deal with this one that has the ties? http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=SE40411&src=sim Is it used...

Do you use any sort of powder check on your press? What type? How do you like it? Thanks

Just ordered an LNL from Natchez and am now trying to find the dies, shell plates etc. As noted elsewhere on the forum midway is out of just about everything, Midsouth and Natchez don't look much better. Where else should I be looking? I managed to find the .38 and 9mm shell plates but still...

Seems like every-time I turn around lately I need some sort of set-screw, grip-screw, or some other small screw for working on firearms. Then it means a trip down to the hardware store or ordering it online and waiting. The latest is pre-travel screw install on a MKII trigger, then there was...

Looking to buy some 9mm cast and I see the two options are 125 or 147. What is your preferred cast bullet for 9mm. Going to be shot in a Beretta Border Marshal, G17 w/ correct barrel, and Springfield 1911. Thanks

Anybody buy one lately? Think I may be ready to buy and was wondering who the likely culprits may be? Thanks
