GeorgeF,

I had placed the entire package on my wish list. At the time the LNL press was on their monthly special, they offered me an additional discount, discounting the sale price as well, so I jumped on it.

I paid:
Press $332.99 List $385.99
Cartridge Feeder $249.09 List $279.99
I also purchased 2 sets of dies @ $34.19 ea. List $39.99 ea.
Also purchased were shell plates, and some other accessories.
Total purchase price w/ shipping was $770.00

Hornady sent me 1000 230 gr. .45 bullets
and 200 .357 bullets for $12.00 in shipping.

I was looking over the Hornady 08 catalog and they say with their auto case feeder that one can load 750 plus rounds per hour.

That's a lot of ammo!

when you make an order make sure to get extra LNL die bushings for your dies to go into for quick changes, I ended up buying 3 .223 die sets just so i have 3 seat dies for the 3 diffrent hights I use for diffrent bullets, yes it only takes a min to reset a die, but all I do is pop another die in place. Im using 13 bushings right now just between .223 and 9mm, the quick change is really nice, if you have monet order the micrometer metering insert to, it makes adjusting the powder drop eaiser. I want to order the pistol kit to sometime, Im using the powder cop die as well. I dont have porblems with normal powder but every now and then varget gives me some problems since the grains are so big.
