I hope I don't regret this: Bought my first press after my starter kit single stage

[jonp]

Loaded thousands of rounds on Lee single stage presses. I don't need a Bugatti to load ammo and Lee works just fine for me. Buy what you want, spend what you want but just keep

Seems to be limited to 223 and pistol. I have not had good luck trying to auto feed 308, Swede and such.

I had the same problem with .308, then I created a clear drop tube between and it works like this:



Then made it faster to change calibers:





pretty simple, but the .223 size needing a wind or two of alum. tape to size it tight.

Awesome thanks

For those who have or are planning to acquire a 3D printer, TylerR has taken that idea and created a caliber changing downtube that has the same feature, and can interface with a case feeder. On his version, the caliber specific part just drops in, so you don't have the change the part that screws into press. I designed and printed a wrap around tube for .223, .308, and .270 for his 3D printed verion.......270 version below:



TylerR's thread is here on Cast Boolits.....his files for feeders and APP can be downloaded from the link at his signature in every post he makes.

If anyone wants my rifle downtube .STL files for his APP quick change system just ask. Of course he has all the pistol downtubes for it too.

There is an APP section. You print the APP_Bracket_Main.stl, then any caliber specific downtube. My rifle downtubes are not there.

I like mine well enough. I use it to decap, size, bell the mouth and seat bullets. I think, it comes in great to for sizing and belling pistol brass. I would not suggest using it to size anything that take some force. I had a 308 case get stuck in the die because the shell holder that makes sizing pistol brass so great did not have a enough of a grip on the 308's rim and it was heck to get that case out of the die.

That would save a bunch of time processing a bucket of 38 Special.

I like my APP enough I would buy another immediately if it disappeared.
Mine is used for de-capping pistol cases before pin tumbling , and the cartridges I use NOE expanders on I also resize when de-capping.
I find it to be a great time saver on a chore that I found to be tedious.
And it's cheap

Over on TheHighRoad.org people are buying 2 APPs. Might make sense if you are doing several operations....they are that cheap.

I use it for what "onelight" does, and I also swage military 7.62 with it. The case feeder makes that go 3 times faster than my RCBS bench Swager or a similar Super Swager. I may have to begin the Boolit making side of the hobby so I can size lead boolits with the APP...many love it for that.
