1-1/4 adaptive T7 head to use LNL locks

[Sigfla]

Anyone consider swapping to an adaptive T7 Creedmoor head in the larger size so they can convert some dies to the Hornady LnL bushing system? I love my turret setup but at times I find myself wishing for the adaptability of a quick change die for certain calibers. Cost wise it may just be easier to add another single stage press. Just thinking out loud and wondering if anyone else went that route?

The concept of using QC bushings in a turret is a little off the wall in my mind. Why not just buy another turret and arrange the dies as req'd, as you add more dies or cartridges to your collection. No idea what you think you'd gain in doing it.

Just a faster more convenient swap. Swapping turrets is a bit of a pain compared to swapping dies. In any case it’s just not a cost effective idea. I am likely better served buying another single stage and converting it. Or buying a Forster Coax.

Had turret presses for decades (various Lee's). They work really well for most things. One turret for each caliber kind of thing (yeah, I had a lot of turrets). Lee's turrets are as easy to swap as the LNL type.

As I transitioned to only rifle then Lee quick change die setup on single stage worked well. But, their 'adaptors' are cheap aluminum and I had trouble with them when doing heavy work, like case forming. The idea works really well.

I thought about going to the LNL setup but just haven't got around to it. So, I just use the std thread on the rockchucker. Takes a bit longer but is not bad.
