    45-70 and the Lee APP press

    Anyone have experience with the Lee Automatic Production Press? I am sure it will handle .38/.357mag/.357max, .41 mag, .44 mag, 7mm TCU, but will it handle .308 Win, 30.06 or 45-70 Gov? Has anyone tried to run .308, .06, or 45-70 on the APP press? Can the Lee Universal Case Feeder take these cases or will it jam?

    308 works fantastic, no issues at all.

    can I run 45-70 brass if I hand feed instead of using the tube feeder? Will the cases fit the gripper things?

    While I have used mine for rifle brass, I use it for pistol now and boolit sizing. But I don't have any straight walled rifle either. You can size a mess of pistol brass in a hurry.
