Does anyone use one and do you have any feedback? That is all 
I bought one last week but the Mrs took it off me and said I can’t have it until christmas day, so stay tuned. The plan is to print a bullet feeder and adapters for it for sizing cast projectiles.

Yeah I’d be interested in feedback on the APP also
Any progress on use?
I picked one up… I am pretty happy with it.
Keep in mind, I have a 650 for anything that requires serious volume and a single stage for whatever. So there’s a gap where I have vintage calibres that don’t go into 650 and I have a lot of them. This is where APP comes in.
Here I am feeding cases by hand, because these have a wide rim and I didn’t have a big enough tube on hand to make an adapter for a case feeder. Generally, it’d be fed from the case feeder on 650.
Here I am flaring case mouth. Something that would have taken me quite some time (200 cases), took a few minutes here.
I usually do seating and crimping in 2 separate operations, I don’t like doing it at the same time. Probably wrong, but I think there’s a lot more chances of shaving the bullet when roll-crimping and seating in one. anyway, I ran crimping operation on this, looked exactly the same. Very fast.
There are a bunch of videos online for reviews, so I am not going to go into detail, but here are some of my observations.
- When it’s running - it’s running. Flawlessly.
- It’s Lee - so cast and plastic fantastic. There’s a part (bottom left spring retention hook) that will break. I don’t see it not to. I’ll print an improved holder when or if it happens.
- Adjustments take time, not like every time, but to figure it out and make it run - it took me a few goes. With that in mind, I actually mounted the entire shell guide (black part) assembly upside down, seems to work better.
- This press rocks for sizing lots of rifle cases quickly.
- If you cast - this will work amazingly well for sizing cast bullets. The red lid hanging at the bottom is a primer/bullet catcher. I just didn’t attach a bottle when I was using it.
- Lots of mods for 3D printing enthusiast on Thingiverse.
- It does need specific shell holders, which are like normal shell holders, but cut straight though so cases can enter and fall out. I bought a common set + couple more not so common for calibres I own. It covers pretty much any case.
Overall, Lee. I hve a special love-hate relationship with Lee, so I am a bit angry at them in general. Press is more or less plastic fantastic, some parts will break. Now for the good parts - for what it is, it saves me literally hours of effort, so I love it. Do recommend, would buy it again.
