Lock-n-load ap package - Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Package

This is a well-built piece of equipment. The setup and operating instructions are well written. One drawback I see so far is the case feeding mechanism is nearly as expensive as the press kit. The powder measure hopper tube was damaged prior to packaging and had to be replaced. The press has a very solid feel when operating it. The primer slide for the small primers would not operate and had to be fitted, the large primer slide operated as intended. I was not able to get consistent powder drops when using the powder through expander for 9 m/m. There was also powder spillage when withdrawing the powder through expander. After changing the powder measure to the standard pistol powder sleeve the issue went away and charges were very consistent, within a tenth of a grain. The plunger/adjusting sleeves for the powder measure change out as intended and repeat for the powder charges. Numerous components of the powder measure had tool marks left after grinding, not a showstopper but a little more grind stock would resolve a cosmetic issue at no added cost. This brings me to the one issue I have with the press; it needs to have a sixth station. When using a separate station to expand the cases, you can't use a powder cop die and a bullet feed die. I also prefer to crimp as a separate operation, not combined with the bullet seating operation. Again, you can't do this due to a lack of a sixth station.
