Hornady lnl info before i buy

[boomer81]

My local gun shop is good to me and lets me pay stuff out. The only progessive they have is the lnl. Its gonna only be used for 5.56 and 9mm. Any thing i need to knw before. Buy. I dont plan on the case feeder at this moment. What kind of round count per hour can expect. I will buy a strong mount from inline precision

Here is a video that will lead you to others. Seems like a decent progressive especially for what you will be doing.

I have a LnL that i only load 5.56 and 9mm on and occasionally 45 acp. The case feeder is a plus IMO but that is up to you. I would recommend buying an extra primer tube or two. I have 3 small primer tubes and i can crank out a good 300+ rounds per hour as long as i keep the powder full. it's a nice little progressive press and you can't go wrong IMO.

They work. Getting a few extra primer tubes will help your production. I've loaded 9mm, 40, 10mm, 45acp, 300blk, 223 and some 308 on mine.

The most finicky part of the machine is the priming mechanism. A few little brass shavings can stop up the slide and plunger so keep that clean. Sometimes you need to put something under the shell plate to smooth out the indexing if your pistol cases are pretty full or you get spills. All in all a good versatile, affordable press that just takes some tweaking and monitoring as you go.

Get in a good rythym and you can do 4-500/hr without a bullet or case feeder depending on how many primer tubes you have loaded and how often you check the powder drop.
