I'm kind of surprised no one here has started a thread on Lee's new Automated press or APP. (not that I'm aware of at least) I have had mine for a while since I pre-ordered it from Midsouth before the actual release. I like decapping my brass prior to tumbling so with this new press, it is fast and saves a lot of time. It seems every day there are more and more videos on youtube regarding the press. As with any Lee press...it has it's quirks but with a little finesse it beats loading one case at a time if one doesn't already have a progressive press. It's not only great for decapping but swaging as well. Although some folks have done it, LEE does not recommend sizing due to the "pass-thru" design of the X-Press shell holder. The only upgrade that I've done to mine is I added the 4 tube feeder and case collator. The Deluxe version only comes with the single tube feeder. The video is not mine...just one pulled off the web for reference
