The Hornady LNL Progressive press is a high volume progressive press. I hope this video helps. 76Highboy
This video will instruct you on how to set the priming system and it will help you dial in the cam-wire properly if the primer won't feed into the primer slide. I hope it helps and thanks for watching. 76Highboy
This guy is inspiring. I wish he was my neighbor.
Can confirm, after pulling my hair out trying to get my primer system running smoothly this video is a lifesaver. Even 8 years later, thanks so much!!
Thank you Tony. I am glad this video helped and I hope you send one down range for me. Highboy
Had to visit this again after a few years of no progressive reloading. You are a godsend Highboy, thanks again.
OLDIE BUT A GOODIE! Still the best set of videos for the Hornady LNL. I don't touch my press until I watch all of these videos.
oh my god. thank you so much, I was getting so frustrated because the primers wouldn't load,,,... I was ready to throw the damn Hornady reloading press. then thinking I had loaded a primer I wouldn't figure it out until there was powder in the round and that's everywhere.... thank you so much. you have no idea how much your video's helped me.

Had a problem with primer cam wire popping out. Found your video this morning. I've performed the tasks you mentioned. Loaded 20+ rounds and no problems! Gonna continue in a few minutes. Thank you so much!!! Harry
Hey man, this is a great video. You explained it better than anyone could. Thank you.
Your tip about how to adjust the rail that moves the primer slide in and out makes watching every one of your videos worthwhile. Well done!
Also I never thought of setting up and testing the priming system before mounting the plate or anything else. IMHO the priming system is the Achilles heel of the Hornady LNL. When it works it’s great, but sometimes 🤬 This is a huge help.
You are the only person who has explained how to get the primmer feeder to feed for me ive struggled with this time and time again
Bill, I hope you get this post as it is attached to a 2013 video you've done. I wanted to express my sincere thanks and gratitude. I don't know what I would have done without your videos to guide my set up. I just got a new Ammo Plant after contemplating and watching you vids for quite awhile. But, it's not an easy piece of machinery to get running. At least if you've never done it before and I haven't but I do have years of reloading experience behind me but this is a little different loader, more of a machine. Anyway I went slow and watched your vids as I approached another part of setting the machine, slowly but surely everything came together tonight. I started about 2:00 P.M. and just finished up setting the press up and running a batch of 9mm at 8:30 P.M. I already had the hardware, drill and everything I needed to mount the press so that saved some time. Such a feeling of satisfaction to see a shell plate full of rounds all in different stages of the loading process. It was great but I will really have to pay attention to this thing, one mistake and it's screwed up......then again, it really isn't because this press makes it so easy to just pull a mistake out of the line and keep on cranking. The powder measure won't throw if there isn't any shell present. I guess I should say they built this press for someone like me who occasionally gets distracted. Anyway, I digress, just wanted to say thank you for the time you've spent. I don't know how many people you've helped but count me as one. THANKS
WOW!!! I sure appreciate the time you took in typing that. I hope you get in on my giveaway, Go to my "Playlists" and you will see the autographed giveaway by Robin Sharpless. Watch the video and jump in on the giveaway. Once again thanks and have fun. Highboy
All right! You did get it. Thanks Again. Love your vids.
I really appreciate the atention to detail that you express in all of your videos. You have helped me really understand how my press works!

Awesome videos! I just got my press and set up the priming system like you showed and it runs like a top! On to the next step, thanks so much for these videos.
Howdy 211, thanks for watching the videos and stick around. Friends are always welcome.
Jim
Jim, Watched part 1 already and your tips got rid of my loose plate issue. Great tips for the priming system and making sure it operates every time. Second set of thanks to you. hope to watch your other videos tomorrow after reloading. Smiles and great job
Thanks. I am glad I can help you out and get to know you. Just remember me at your next barbeque. LOL... Highboy

Well I bought my press 2 years ago and never used it for I could never get it to run smoothly. Actually I hated it and went back to my single Hornady and Forster. Thanks to your video here I have decided to get it back up and working. Everything you say and do here makes so much sense. Thanks for doing this.
Hey osbornephoto, I just saw this message. I just built my own gun forum. Come check it out. Hope to see you there. www.76highboy.com/index.php Highboy
I watched this video again after 9 months. A great video then and the same now.Why did I watch it again? It was a nice review now that I have more experience. This is something I recommend others do as well. A 30 minute video but now it will save you many more than that in problem solving when something goes wrong as you remember seeing it solved on the video.
+Reza Gorji Thanks so much Reza. I do remember you very well. I hope you are having a good summer and make sure to stay in touch. Highboy

I have followed your advise regarding this press and I have finally got it running really smoothly. I took the primer assembly apart as you suggested and then reassembled it like you said and now it works great. Thanks so much for making this video.
+Ed Pence That is great that it is running. Excellent!!! Thanks for the great comment and welcome to my channel. Highboy

Your videos are great! I am a French Hornady LNL AP owner. Around here, reloaders are dillon addicted, so I felt alone to setup correctly this press. Now, I have all i need to improve the press and my reloading process. Your description is detailed so it is easy to reproduce everything.Thank you!
The first issue i have, is the bolt untighten itself after a few realoading cycles. Now, i'll purchase a lock washer and the problem will be over.
The second issue i have, is sometimes the cam that guide the primer slide gets out of the bottom nut. I'll check the priming system setup, i hope this will solve the malfunction.
This is so awesome!!!! Thanks for the positive reply and I am ecstatic that my videos helped you. Let us know if you get the bugs worked out and remember, now you have a bunch of Hornady friends so I hope you follow along.
Bill Morgan
To give you some feedback, I added a lock washer to my press and I realigned the priming system. I have reloaded 300 ammo. The bolt that maintains the shell plate doesn't move. But sometimes the cam feed primer gets out off the nut without any reason. I maybe have over tight the primer punch. Do you have any idea?
Hornady has an new upgrade for that priming ram. Is yours getting grit stuck in it? If not call Hornady, explain it to them and see if they can send you the new updated priming ram. Hope that helps. Highboy.
Bill Morgan
I think I fixed the issue with the priming ram. I discover that the primer seater punch doesn't go back to its inital place after pushing the primer in the case. In this situation, when you handle the press, the priming slide is blocked and it can't move to carry a new primer. To avoid exploding everything, the priming ram gets out of the nut. To solve the problem, I removed the primer punch, I degreased it, I cleaned it and I reput it in place. This morning, I realoaded 200 ammo with no issue. I think my priming punch was dirty and not lubrificated.
As you explained in your videos, when you have a problem with the priming system, usually the solution is linked to the shellpate or in this case to the priming punch.
Sorry for my bad english, if you need information, let me know.
Jean Michel I appreciate your feedback and understood everything you said. I am excited that you have it going and am humbled that you watched my videos. I hope you watch more of my videos and say HI often. Highboy
Thanks Bill. The primmer set up has drove me nuts. It got to the point that I did not prime on the press. Watched this set up vid one more time, and now I have my primer system set up. Good job. Thanks again.
You are so welcome James. I am glad it is working and now you can get to hand loading and have some fun. I hope you say Hi once in a while. Highboy
James, I just built my own gun forum. Come check it out. Hope to see you there. Highboy www.76highboy.com/index.php
Dear God, thank you for this video.
I must have somehow moved that cam-wire when setting up the case feeder ( which doesn't work right yet either ) following the Hornady corp. 12 videos. They do it last and you have to take the press off the mount again. I could not for the life of me figure out why my primers that feed perfectly prior to that would not feed.
I spent hours trying to figure it out. Cleaned, dry lubed, re cleaned, re dry lubed, re cleaned, buffed... disassemble, assemble, disassemble, repeat... read the forums, blew every part with canned air, watched vids on feeder issues... Still couldn't figure out what I did until now. So I checked the alignment as you did and reset it. Boom. Feeds perfectly.
I never would have had the confidence to feed a primer by hand either. Simple for testing too.
Thank you. From the bottom of what was a very frustrated heart.

this is the best info I have found on hornady products on the tube. Solid, Hornady take note of this man and get a hold of him and hopefully he is still available for hire. He is the real deal and is doing it for all of us and you. Hook him up. BIG MISTAKE IF YOU DONT.
Lol. So sorry but I run Dillon. I no longer own the Hornady. Thank you for the kind comment and have a nice day. Highboy
Bill,
Your videos have been incredibly helpful in setting up and using my new LNL AP. Your approach breaks the whole process into logical bite sized pieces with valuable insights and solutions for each of those. Thank you very much for taking so much time and spending the effort to do this. If you are ever in town (central Florida) stop by for dinner and beverages of your choice.
Thank you sir,
Howard
Howard, you have just greatly humbled me. WOW!!! You Sir, I can tell are a good friend and American. The deal is though,,, if and when I get to Florida to enjoy your food we will do a video on your establishment. I will send you a PM to get your info. I thank you Sir. Highboy

Your welcome Mike. I am glad I could help and enjoy your press.
Thanks for showing how to smooth out the primer system. I had many problems with stuck primers, so much so that I probably broke at least 10 of the plastic caps at the top of the primer slide wire. Since I did your primer system tune up, no problems. First class instruction Highboy.
Thanks Terry. I am glad you got it running good. Highboy

I want to tell you THANK YOU I was have a hard time getting my primer shuttle to feed primers after watching you video I was able to get it working great. I bought the Hornady ammo plant with the case and bullet feeder. I watched your videos before it arrived and took your advice a tips and bought the 3/8 lock washer and emery cloth and sanded down all the parts you sand too. it makes a big difference. I will sure to let my views know about you channel and videos on my RUclips channel when I do a review of my Hornady ammo plant press. Thank you again!

Great video keep up the great work 👍I just bought the hornady ap loader and I have been having problems with primers feeding issues and you have really helped me out buddy
Hey Bill, After watching your vid on Hints and Trick Pt2. I think I know what was happening. It's my opinion that I was having some primers hang up sideways in the primer shuttle....this caused the press to malfunction and wiggling the handle fixed it. Either the primer would settle in the shuttle or it would fall out which would also explain why I had a few cartridges without primers........I thought I failed to push the handle hard enough to seat the primer. But a misaligned primer would cause the problems I experienced. So.....I'll set the shuttle up the way you have outlined.
Thanks again, you're a lifesaver with this machine.

Getting mine on thursday... waiting for primers though :( :( thanks for making these videos! This is my first time reloading
Keep the vids comin brother the way you explain things it's so easy to understand.
I just built my own gun forum. Come check it out. Hope to see you there. Highboy www.76highboy.com/index.php
Thanks for the encouragement. I should have the next video out shortly. Have a good weekend.
It's great video. I love the way you can reinstall the primer slide. Removing the primer shuttle hex head screw and slowly pivot the tube with your index finger and save the primers in the tube. You emphasize not to put your finger or thumb on the opposite end of the tube. However sir when your index finger is on the shuttle side, it is still exposed to the primers. Never-the-less, I'm am still going to use your method. Its the only other way other than spilling primers all over the place. Keep up the good work. I also own the Dillon XL 650. And I believe there is no quick method to remove primers. If you have, I (we) would love to know.
Except you don't have a choice to not leave your finger under the shuttle. Otherwise I would advise to move that one too. Yes, I do have a very fast way of removing primers from your 650. Just cycle the priming index arm until empty. Highboy
Yes sir. On the 650, thats the only way is to cycle.
Excellent vids. I will watch the rest tomorrow. But it looks like when you put the shell plate on you used a lock washer and no flat washer. :) Thanks so much!

Great video. I'm fighting with a old Hornady progressive that I can't get parts for anymore and thinking of getting this one. You just convinced me to move on. As for Dillons they seem to have way to many plastic parts for my liking.

Big +1 out to you Bill!!! I've been having issues with my LNL feeding Large Pistol Primers. I followed what this video said, and it's feeding LPPs great!
With exception of the occasional ejector hang (seems to happen when I'm going fast), the press is running great.
Right on. Thank you for watching my videos and I am glad that you worked it out. I hope you stop in and say HI every once in a while. Jim

Oh the good old days!!!
Great little tricks. I was trying to set up my new press today only to find out mine came with 2 large primer seater punches! A phone call later and I should have a small some time next week.... I guess I'll just have to wait... as everything I will be reloading uses small primers!

So I'm new to reloading. I got everything running smooth except the primer system and bullet seating. For the primer system the problem I'm having is the primer slide won't slide all the way forward I have to nudge it every time or else the pin that seats the primer won't pass thru the primer slide. I tried tour tips but no luck. Maybe the spring is not strong enough? With the bullet seating the problem I'm having is 50 percent of my projectiles can be pressed into the powder by hand. The other half is good. I've tried several settings on my full length case sized. I've tried adjusting my powder thru expander. So far best results are to not flare the cases. Still have same problem but not as frequent. Also causes my bullet feeder to just set the bullet on the case to the point it falls off when it goes to next station. I'm using LnL ammo plant with hornady dies. Sizer/recap then powder measure/expander then powder cop then bullet feeder then bullet seater. Any help would be great.

These are great videos Bill. Thanks for putting them up. I am hoping to get my LNL here in the next few months and this tips are going to be really helpful when I set it up. You mentioned using Emery cloth to smooth out some parts. What grit do you recommend? Thank and keep up the great videos.
WOW!!! Thank you Sir. I would use a fine emery cloth and that will do the job. When you get your new press feel free to ask questions and I hope you follow along.
Bill, enjoyed the vids, they helped me set up my new press. Hey i know you said you already have forums you are on but you should join the facebook group page "Reloading the Hornady Way". Lots of fellow Hornady reloaders and they all talk about your videos and other good tips about reloading and hornady products. Anyway thanks again.
Mark Groman Thanks Mark. I am not on Face Book because of time. Between work, family time and videos I try to keep time away from the bustle and bustle but I appreciate the invite. Please tell the guys hello for me and make sure to say HI once in a while. Highboy

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just buy a new primer slide especially after a couple of jams that can really make it run rough
Great vid man, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the positive comment Jose. I hope to see you follow along in my channel. Make sure to say Hi. Highboy

Bill,
These are an excellent set of videos. They're both informative and enjoyable. I've purchased a machine on the basis of your videos. I've got a couple of questions. I'm having a problem with priming. I'm convinced the feed & timing (after a lot of experimentation) are as good as can be. However, approximately 1 in 20 (CCI) primers don't seat fully. I've not tried another make. Any bright ideas appreciated. Secondly, actually getting bits for the press is difficult in the UK. For instance, I've been waiting since early December for a #1 shell plate. I can't get a delivery date for a benchrest powder measure. I want to load 6mm BR to be as accurate as possible without weighing each charge as at present. In your opinion, is the existing powder measure good enough, or would you substitute another powder measure.
Grateful your thoughts.
Kindest regards
Dave
Answer one: One in 20, it is correctable. The timing on the pawls is off just enough that once in a while one is snagging. I will be doing a video in the next month on how to adjust the pawls. Until then study it a bit. I wish I could give you more info from my end.
Answer two: Run what you have and monitor what it measures and then you will know. I have a second video where I demo the bench rested powder measure and that will give you an idea of what accuracy you are looking for. In that video I run extruded powder, flake powder, and ball powder so I hope that helps. Let me know what you find out and thanks for following along. Highboy

great job once again. you should put all your videos on a DVD and make it available for sale. It would be a good reference to fall back on, I know I would by one

I found I need to put a spent 30/06 case upside down on top of the primer rod to add a little bit of weight helping the primers to keep going down the conga line... Do you think the inside of my primer tube could be a bit egg shaped causing the need of the extra weight?
Great vid ;-)
Steven, I just built my own gun forum. Come check it out. Hope to see you there. Highboy www.76highboy.com/index.php
Great vids! But i have one problem: if i snug the explosion rod, primers would not feed, the slide stops! I made all things like you. If i loosen the explosion rod just a bit, i have no problems feeding primers. I Load over 5000 Rounds with the press and that´s the only problem i have to fix allrady.

Are there different primer slide for the different primer such as one for large pistol primer and one for small pistol primer? Enjoying your videos.
Yes. There is one primer slide for large and one for small. Thank you and make sure you join my forum where you can ask questions. If you join, use a fake name. Go to 76highboy.com
So I've watched all of your hornady lnl ap press set up videos. They are awesome and I greatly appreciate your efforts putting together the series. I am having a problem with my primer system. I adjusted it as you described in the video. Everything works great until I get to the last primer. It flips sideways in the shuttle and holds it from coming forward. I can run primers one after another without any problems until I get to the last one. Do you have any suggestion for correcting the problem. I have contacted hornady and they are sending me a new shuttle and a couple other parts I need.
All questions can be asked at 76highboy.com
Hi Bill.
Great video. I keep coming back to your fav 6 Tips / hints. I have a quick question. I accidentally took the entire assembly apart for the powder charge. I put it back together but every 100 or so rounds, the screw comes loose on the linkage piece that hooks to the pin. I looked at the diagram and am pretty sure it is assembled as it works correctly and throws a consistent charge. If I tighten it too much, it won;t let the powder throw (up and down) smoothly or it completely jams. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Rico
Richard Rongve Hmmm, I am stumped. I have never had that problem. Maybe you should ask Hornady. I am sure they would know why. I am sorry I have no answer for you. Thanks for the supportive comment. Highboy
Thanks buddy. Really enjoy the videos. Looking forward to your AR reloading videos. God Bless

BIll,
Great tut on the LNL AP. 1 question about the primer system. Lets say you run a case by the the live primer and forget to seat that primer, pull the handle and move on to the next case to prime. Do I now have 2 live primers wanting to be seated?
No. If you watch you will see me half index around bout there is only one primer staged for the next shell. One primer is loaded into the shuttle at a time and that one primer sits until it is picked up. Over the next several months I will be bringing Dillon on so I will be previewing that as well. Thanks for asking and I hopoe to get to chat with you more Sir. Highboy

thanks...
Hey Man, been having frustrating issues with getting the primer seater plug to seat my primers just below flush with the case head, tried snugging up the plug so its nice and tight, broke it, hornady sent me a replacement. i put a spent primer directly underneath the primer seater plug, it was alright, but eventually the spent primer gets more dented and doesnt do its job, an simple fixes you know of to get that just below flush primer seating? i sometimes feel like im going to snap the handle off the press just trying to get that primer below the case head. thanks
Bill,
What I meant is, if you are loading as normal and you forget to do the forward push to seat the bullet and continue on as if you had seated it, but you did not realize you had not seated it. What happens to that primer, does it get shuttled around or pulled back into and out of the primer feed system?
I hope I make sense here?
You actually are very easy to understand. If I were to forget to seat the primer then the primer would remain in the shuttle ready for the next empty case. The primer delivery is position sensitive, meaning it will remain ready until you push the handle rearward.
Thanks Sir.

Is there one primer slide for either small pistol primers and another for Large or for rifle? Thanks
Do you load any 9mm? I understand from talking with all my shooting friends tat 9mm is one of the trickiest cartridges to reload because the case is so small. The biggest complaint I hear on progressive machines is "powder splashing out of the case on auto-index". If you reload 9mm, do you have the same problem?
Evening Bill, I broke the primer wire's plastic fitting off while loading some 40 S&W's. Luckily I had another one, I put it on in as close to the same place as my old and things are working well. Can you tell me what happened? First let me give you some symptoms. The press would lock up and I thought it was the shell plate not indexing, then I thought the primer wasn't fully seating in the case. I couldn't see the wire from where I was sitting but I found if I would jiggle the handle a little it would run o.k. Finally it hung up, when I tried to jiggle the handle the plastic piece broke. I think I know how not to do it again but can you give me some hints on how to prevent this from happening (things to look for prior to failure)
Thanks, Pat
I believe what happend was when you were going to Top Dead Center (Gear Head Lingo Brutha) the primer slide did not extend all the way back to pick the primer up. Therefore the primer slide bent the primer slide guide wirs snd consequently the wear part was the plastic piece. What will cause the primer slide to not retract to the load position is sometimes the primer ram will catch the primer slide and the primer slide will become motionless and then the wire gets bent and the plastic piece breaks.
I believe this is the case based off what I reads from you Pat. Look forward to your upcoming video where you stole my show. Highboy
Bill Morgan O.K. I need to take it apart and see where the primer slide is ending up, trying to make sure it's set up the way you did in the vid. The main problem (or a problem) is not being able to see the rod when operating the press. I had no idea the problem came from back there. Anyway thanks for the info. something to check out. That is the first time I've had a hiccup of any kind with this press. I think the trick is to think (TOP DEAD CENTER)....amen?
My issue right now is the primers won't seed. They are dropping from the tube ok, but when i push the handle slightly forward the primers stay on the press. Any ideas???
Bill - new LNL AP user here...appreciate the vids!! I do have one question - all the sanding and such - is it ONLY to remove burrs? or is the idea to 'polish' the parts that rub so they do so smoothly? thanks!!
For me it just smoothed it up. There are no burrs but it helped smooth it up. It does not take much. Highboy

Hi Jim
Great tip on the case ejector. I was having issues last night and went back to the video. I loaded anger 15 rounds without issue so I think your tip was the magic bullet. Thanks. I did have one question. I ran the press one bullet at a time to double check everything. Everything looked good. Once I starting running them with all the cases, I notices my case length went from 1.265 (45ACP) to 1.276. I can't explain it. It took lots of fussing and resizing bullets again after coming off the press. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Now you can see why this is not a match grade piece of equipment. You just gave to keep working with it a bit.
Thanks. Any ideas on why the primer feed seems to bind on the guide wire assembly. It caught yesterday and yanked the spring and wheel off. I had already primed my cases so I was not using the primer assembly.

Do you need a different setup for Sm Pistol Primers vs Lg vs Sm Rifle vs Lg Rifle Primers. What exactly needs to be changed out?

Say do you have a video about spent primers getting jammed up and not falling down the spent primer tube and how to fix this problem im having problems with my spent primers not dropping out of my AP loader I have to grab the case and wiggle it to drop my spent primers it doesn't happen every time but it's a hit and miss deal.
Thank you in advance 👍
I sure don't but you can get help on my forum. I have a lot of guys that run Hornady and I do not allow any of my members to be rude to others. Therefore, you can post questions and get help. Go to 76highboy.com and join using your same RUclips name so I recognize you. You will like my forum. Highboy
@@76Highboy thank you
@@akbound.prepper5676 I just approved you. Highboy
@@76Highboy Thank you sir appreciate it 👍
I snapped the plastic bracket at the top so I'm back watching this video to see how to dial it in again.
Ouch. I hope you get it dialed back in. Highboy

Still recommend the lock n load? Thinking about getting one for just 45acp.
I do not recommend. I went Dillon. 76higboy.com
Funny how you say you love this press, but now you don’t recommend. What happend?
What can you advise about using LC brass, 308 cal, for the AP. For the life of me, I cannot get some of the cartridges to size properly so that the very bottom of the casing is not oversize diameter. That is, about >.470. Headspace gage doesn't like it either, says my Wilson gage. Use the Hornady FL sizing die, and it just hates getting tightened down farm enuf to bang on the shellplate and squeeze the butt down to size. And my SCAR 17 just hates it, too. (Gee, and how do I know this???) So what should I do? Throw out all the LC brass? Throw out the AP? Use a new shellplate or die??? Help, please.
+CLARENCE CORRIVEAU I have never loaded rifle on my AP so you may want to give Hornady a call. Sorry I cannot help you. WElcome to my channel Sir. Highboy
Jeez--rifle reloads are a real blast. When you learn how to do it right. Pistol reloads are too easy....
Ha, I love your character. IMO, I load the bigger rifle stuff on a single stage. As for .308, that will be a new one for me when I begin it. I will give it a try on my Dillon for sure. I hope to chat some more with you Sir. Highboy
I was looking at my press I I see I got a burr on my slide and wondering how many Tim’s would you run in on 1000grit paper and I would love to pick your brain more on some questions I got
Go to 76highboy.com
Drink a beer every time he says OK, drunk in two minutes, ok :)
These videos were made at two in the morning. If you begin with insults I will ban you. Highboy
If you take good natured ribbing as insults I will ban myself, you are not the only person on YT doing reloading vids
Well, and I do make the worst reloading videos in YT. As long as you are not a troll causing problems we will get along. LOL... You made my night pard. Highboy
What cartridge are you going to load for? Highboy
38special mostly
Bill, I learn something new in every one of your video's. My only complaint is that it shouldn't take 40 minutes to explain 10 minutes worth of info.
Paul Kenyon I believe my channel is not for you. What you are complaining of is what others appreciate. I am not here to be the biggest RUclips channel, instead I am here to help others that want the info. It would be different if you and I were at the bench because we could get through this stuff in light speed time, however I am preaching to a multitude of people so I slow down for the ones who need it to be slow.
BTW, I have now had over one dozen subscribers send me the ammo they reloaded so my channel is working. I have heard of no other channel that has accomplished that.
If you go elsewhere I respectively understand.
Highboy
You mean you pay over 1000 bucks for a press then you have to do all that stuff to get it to work right?
You should join my website. You would like it... Lot's of help and resources. Also, I went Dillon and don't recommend Hornady. Go to 76highboy.com
I wish your focus was a bit better on your camera...
drugs are bad mmmmkaaaayyyy. but nice helpful vids ty mmkayy
No drugs, just lots of coffee. I get a lot of guys that ding me for that but the fact of it is these videos were made out of request with little preparation. It is a challenging task to illustrate, watch the camcorder, and speak. Oh well, I have gotten a little better over time. Thanks for the compliment. Highboy
Bill Morgan The videos are fantastic. I was just teasin about how you always say mmmkay. lol

I think I see something terribly wrong here.
There is no mess or clutter on the workbench! How can you reload like a real shooter if you don't have clutter or mess on the workbench?!?!?!?
OK Doc, I will work on that. How you doing Doc?

Would be nice if Hornady did all this shit before sending it out.
