John Pivirotto's Review of Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Package

I purchased this reloading press based on the overall reviews and the quality of Hornady products. All you need is the dieset and shell plate for what you intend on reloading. The instructions are well laid out as is the DVD that's in the package. Hornady's customer service are very helpful should you have any questions. After going back and forth between the Dillon XL650 and this Hornady press I chose the lock n load AP. This isn't to say that Dillon isn't a good product. I based it on Hornady'd reputation and the availability of the reloading products from a vast array of shops and online distributors. Optics Planet fits the bill for their customer service and free shipping over $50. I've reloaded close to a thousand rounds of .45ACP already without any issues. The key is keeping everything clean which I do after approximately 200 rounds. I've been using the original ammunition brass several times also. .45ACP ammo cost was the main reason for this new hobby. I'm now looking into the 9mm dieset for reloading 9mm. What's really nice is you just purchase 3 new Hornady lock n load bushings for your size ammo dieset and your good to go. a simple quarter turn twist to remove your existing dieset from the press and when you're ready to re-use them you pop them in. No resetting! I recommend the Hornady lock n load AP. I made the right purchase for the money!
