Heavyhaul,
"Just look at it this way. He's just inheriting it a little early."
You Sir, are vicious. I am still a tender young man and not ready to have my beloved firearms "inherited." (I'm laughing here, heck, even I don't believe what I just stated.) I think you're right. I find it hard to tell him no when he asks politely. Amazing how since he's turned eighteen he's much more polite with his pop. Not that he wasn't before, he's just more aggressive about it now.
"I love my LNL so far."
"Have to keep spilled powder out of the shell plate and I had to tweek the loop on the ejector wire to keep casings from binding."
A little shot of canned air I find helps. I'm not going to ask how you spilt powder.
"I also noticed that if I go too slow, the plate doesn't quite index to align the primer. Could be my fault. I may need to keep moving smoother."
It is not your fault. It sounds like you don't have the timing on the feed pawls "quite right." They're a little off. If you raise the ejector spring out of the way and rotate the shellpate, do you hear a "double" click as the shellplate advances and locks into the next station? IF so, you need to adjust the feed pawls. To do this, leave the ejector wire up, get a strong light on the shellplate so you can observe it good and make very slight adjustments to each pawl, just a 1/16th of a turn or so. Should bring it right in. Also, use some inert non grease dry lube to lube the shellplate on the bottom and where the ejector spring rubs.
"I have almost 300 rounds thru it in less time than I could have resized and primed. Gotta luv it. :grin:"
Boy, the first time you load up a batch in an hour that took you several evenings of work before, you really appreciate a progressive. I'm glad you're happy with your press.
Regards,
Dave
