bubbas4570 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Before I changed homes last year I picked up a Hornady Lock 'n Load AP press and a Dillon RT1500.....finally got the whole system set up and running. .....all I can say is WHY DID I WAIT SOON LONG!!!??!!?!?!?!!?!??!?!? I could have used this thing years ago....... Just to give you guys an idea on how fast it can be, I sized and trimmed over a 2 pound coffee can (plus a LARGE akrobin) full of 223 brass without trying in an hour. It is noisy, but that is fixed with some earpro and a cord to hook up toons.... Not me, but here is an idea of how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 That is CRAZY. Damn, I need a progressive press setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbas4570 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 This is my first truly progressive press, but I like it alot. Takes more time to set up, and attention when running....but worth it. I have owned RCBS turret, 4X4, Jr., old Pacific single, and LEE single stage presses, but this one takes the cake for speed and utility. I still have and need a the Pacific single stage, but it is used for bullet sizing almost exclusiviely. Just so you understand, the price of admission isn't cheap in this speed trimming club....

mineralman55 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Welcome to the club. When I first began looking for a loading press many moons ago, all the "experienced" sellers and dealers said don't waste your time on a progressive, get a single stage. Best advice I ever ignored. I bought an RCBS 4x4 and never looked back. Progressive presses are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbas4570 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I sold my 4x4 only due to the hardness of finding shellplates.....and there are just a few ones that I had problems finding over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
