[QUOTE="1911user, post: 1245671, member: 543"] For those with new LNL-AP presses, if it has the ez-ject ejection system, older shellplates will not work without modification by Hornady. The newest shellplates have a groove on the bottom of the plate so it doesn't interfere with the ez-ject system. The hornady mod for older plates is to chuck them in a lathe and cut the groove. They used to charge for the service ($10 IIRC), but that was at least 2 years ago so things may have changed if it is still offered. Just beware a flat bottom shellplate won't work with the ez-ject system. Until that change, all of the shellplates for the hornady progressives would work on any of them even going back to the old pro-jector models and all early/middle LNL-AP models. My final bit of advice concerns the electric casefeeder. If you buy one, make sure the press, bench, etc. is mounted [U]very[/U] securely. The casefeeder does not tolerate a press or bench that wobbles if you want any speed at all. Attach the bench to studs in the wall for best results (not kidding one bit). There is also a mod to the casefeeder bowl. It goes a long way to keeping the cases from jamming or being fed upside down. Start a new topic if you run into the problem. I'll have to find some old notes for the exact fix. [/QUOTE]
