Reloading Setup

[1911user]

The LNL is a progressive press.

The LNL-AP is a progressive. The LNL Classic is a single stage press that uses the same LNL (lock-n-load) bushings as the LNL-AP.

Hard to go wrong with a dillon 550 and if you decide to move to a progressive later, they have excellent resale value. I've had a square deal, 550, hornady lock n load, now a 650. I can consistently load 400 an hour on the 650 taking it slow enough to watch what I'm doing.

The LNL is a progressive press. As to changing dies, with a turret you never have to do that. Just get a spare turret if you want to load other calibers, install the dies, and leave them there.

The LNL looks like a good first progressive press, but it's not the place for a beginner to start.

I think the Redding T-7 is the most expensive turret press. Lee has one for much less. Mine are Lyman, and they are more expensive than most. The Redding is an excellent press, just a little pricy. CB

LNL Classic(came with the kit), LNL AP, and Redding T7. The T7 makes the Lyman turret press look like a toy.

Dude that's an awesome setup. This weather makes me wanna move mine in from the garage. I might just do it too. What kind of workbenches are those?

Gladiator(by Whirlpool). Available from sears. About 2 inches thick, made of butcher block. Move your stuff in from the garage, before the heat and humidity take their toll.

LNL AP and T-7. T-7 is worth every penny. It is heavier than the LNL. I couldn't believe it when I just mounted them both at the same time.

I use the T7 to load .300 H&H, .375 H&H, and .450-400 NE 3". It doesn't even notice when you size the big cases.

I'll be loading 338 lapua on it. I don't see it having any trouble with that.

It'll damn near do .50 BMG.
