Re: Progressive Press I frequently check that the shellplate is correctly indexed, so that is not the problem. The problem is only severe when I use large rifle primers. (Never tried small rifle, but no problem with small or large pistol.) I do use the large punch for the large primers. I...- steel47

Re: Progressive Press HOGGHEAD: Although I am experiencing difficulty with priming on the Hornady, I want to tell you what I see as its strengths: * Lower initial cost, esp. with the free bullets deal. * Automatic indexing. * 5 stations. * Wide spacing between the stations makes it easy to...- steel47

Re: Progressive Press Well here are my limited results so far with the RCBS bench priming tool "Automatic Priming Tool". Not one failure to seat so far (14 cases). And they seat deeper than any did on the LNL. This is not about more leverage. In fact, when I look at a primer that gave trouble...- steel47

Re: Progressive Press I haven't made any decision about what to use. I am experimenting to determine what works best, and to make sure I don't have a component problem. If the RCBS works better than the LNL for priming large rifle, the LNL is still very convenient for the other steps in the...- steel47

Re: Progressive Press My disk was 0.1875" or 3/16", but the small difference should be inconsequential. I also got some CCI primers. Only tried a few, and they didn't go in any easier, maybe harder. Tomorrow I will receive an RCBS bench priming tool (the one using regular primer tubes, which...- steel47

Re: Progressive Press canuck, I tried your trick but didn't find that it made any difference in required force on the handle, and off and on, I have real trouble getting the primer deep enough. When I look at my press, I believe the highest leverage is at the part of the stroke where the...- steel47

Re: Progressive Press I too have an LNL and am happy with it. However, I just started loading for rifle, and am having problems with seating the LR primers. Three members on another board chimed in and said this press just doesn't do a good job seating these primers. Hornady said they never...- steel47
