I need another press. Hornady Lock N Load?

Lee Classic Cast with Hornady quick change bushings and lock rings is working great for me. The Lee press is a beast.

I'm going to set up another press to do strictly 20 VT. I'm looking at the Hornady Lock-N-Load right now. Since I will be using several dies going from 223 to 20 VT, I'm looking for another way to do it instead of unscrewing a die everytime I want to change dies. Currently I have been using an RCBS single stage press since around 1969 or so. I don't recall when they came out. I was going to try and convert this press to the Lock-N-Load system but the nut that's screwed into the press that holds the die appears to be permanently fused in the press now.

What really caught my attention on the Lock-N-Load is the quick change system they have and I think this would work out well for what I want to do.

Can any users of the Lock-N-Load give me any comments?

I've been using one for 6 years and find it very convenient to quickly change dies. I've not had any problems with it, although I don't use the priming feature, preferring to use a hand primer instead. My bullet runout is generally under a thou, so what's not to like?

I have slowly sold off most of my presses and now have a pair of LEE Cast Classic 4 hole Turret presses on the bench now with 11 turrets set up. I couldn't be happier. Truly a quick change system with everything together.

I have a old Lyman Jr. press with the turret changed out to 7/8x14 threads and keep it loaded with LEE Quicktrim dies just turn it to the cartridge I want to trim and it is all set to go..

I do keep a Lyman Crusher press also for HEAVY case forming. 20P, 6x45, 22-204, 6mm-204 and 25-204 are easily done by the LEE turret press but 6.5x58R(middle) from 9.3x72R(right) need some serious power.

The bullets for the 6.5x58R need to be swaged from .264 to .260 so those get done on the big Lyman also.

The LEE Cast Classic single stage is a nice press I set up one of my hunting buddies with one, I told him if he ever decides to quit loading(we're both on the wrong side of 70) I'd buy it from him.

I have one and I absolutely don't like the priming system, ck out the Redding T7, just my opinion

I had a lock and load now I have Redding T7. Should have bought the T7 in the first place.
