I got a Lock n Load for a Christmas present and with all of the calibers I load it would be a small fortune to buy all the bushings to adapt the dies for all the calibers I load I made a tool to remove the bushings in the press and I am making 5 steel bushings 1 1/2- 12 to 7/8-14 so I can adapt the press to 7/8-14 like my old Projector press.
I have the outside threaded and now need to drill and tap to 7/8-14.

Finished the bushings today, pics to follow.

Sounds like a lot of work why not just get locking set collars for your dies and swap them out of the bushings?

The bushings are not steel and may be zinc castings. I have locking rings on all of my dies and want steel on steel.
I may leave the bushing in the powder measure position to make it easier to empty the measure.
I received my old shellplates from Hornady that were converted for use on the LNL with EZject system so now I can finish assembling the attachments to the press and load some ammo.
