Default Progressive presses

I'm just about ready to purchace a new auto indexer press complete with a added case feeder, i'm leaning more toward the Hornady Lock -N- Load machine from reading about them,,would this be a wise investment from my step up from my single stage (RCBS) press that i've had for the past 17 years???.

.. I also plan on reloading mostly .45 ACP, with the exception i'll also be reloading .270 rifle.

You can spend more money but you cannot buy a better press than the Hornady.
Their customer service is top notch also.

I use the Lee Pro 1000. Why? Because it has one slick little bullet feeder. No more setting those bullets one at a time. Fill the tube and go!Does anyone else offer a bullet feeder, besides the high dollar after market one for Dillon presses?

For sure get one that auto indexes. That feature helps reduce the risk of a double charge.

I should clearify, that Lee's bullet feeder is an option, round $35.00. Then you have to buy different fingers and another part for different size bullets. That kit is, I believe, $15.00. Check out the Lee reloading web site.

I just set up my new LNL AP. SO far I've had a few different questions about both the press and the redemption forms for the 500 free bullets, called Hornady customer service 3 times, spoke to three different people and all have been very helpful, kind, caring, and wonderful to deal with. I also have a RCBS Rock Chucker for the precise hunting loads and will continue to use with my rifles. I'm planning on loading 9mm, 38, 45ACP and 223/5.56 on my LNL AP. I ordered a few extra bushings and some extra retaining springs and am waiting on is my bullets, powder, and primers which I'll pick up this weekend at my local reloading shop. Good luck, so far I've only loaded a few test 9mm to help get the dies set correctly, but have no used any powder and I've loved it.
