LNL-AP Case Feeder
In this video, you'll see how the case feeder works for the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive reloading press.
Great series of videos. I am see that you have a modified ejector wire to eject the finished bullet. How did you do that? That is the only complaint I have on the LNLAP.
Does anyone have any experience with using the case feeder with the FN 5,7? I just installed it and am having trouble with double and triple feeds.
Gavin,
I do not know what type of mojo you seem to have, but it is definitely working for you. I got the case feeder and keep having my cases drop onto the slide and kind of cartwheel off. Is there some magic for getting the drop tube lower or is there a technique in manipulating the press that reduces this? I bought this to help speed things up.
My other issue is that the case seems to catch on the edge of the base plate when it crosses over the retainer spring into the shell plate. This causes the case to get catty wumpus and not make it into the shell plate. Any tips on that?
I just purchased the Case Feeder for my LNL AP. I am reloading .40 S&W. I followed both the written and video directions from Hornady which state I need to use the large drop tube and large funnel for this caliber ( the small drop tube will not allow all my .40 SW brass to drop down the tube).
The large drop tube is not a problem, but having to use the large screw on funnel causes the cases to get snagged and hung up in the pivot mechanism that takes the case from the drop tube to the slide ramp.
The small funnel works great when I manually drop the cases, but it will only match up with the small drop tube which is just a few thousandths of an inch too small reliably drop my 40 SW brass.
Has anyone run into this issue reloading .40 SW and have you found a fix?
