I set up my Lee APP press today.
What a dream machine to 1) decap and 2) remove the factory crimp from 9mm.
Haven't tried other calibers yet.
Set it up with the 4-up case feed tube system and the case collator. Loads shells in seconds.
Did a bit of custom contrivance to mount an Akro-Mils bin sideways, using a simple right-angle bracket I had in my Angle Brackets Department. Works really well to receive the processed brass.
The APP makes depriming almost fun.
But here's my question:
I read the owner's manual completely, looked through the Lee website, and looked on YouTube, but found nothing on recommendations for lubrication.
The press has metal-on-metal and metal-on-plastic parts. Some say to use mineral oil on the plastic parts. Some say Balistol. I tried some silicon that I use on PVC valves and other pool fittings, but I don't particularly like how it's performing.
Dillon says to use only 30W motor oil on metal-to-metal. Can't really argue with that.
But what about the sliding plastic parts? What's best to lube them?
Any ideas on lubrication schedule for the Lee APP?
