LEE APP (Automated Press)

[Cryhavoc]

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

Order mine from Midsouth on the 6th. I have not received a shipping notice yet.

I received my APP yesterday. I decapped approximately 200 223 and a 100 9mm just to get the hang of it. I like the little press so far.

Mine is on back order at Midway. Was expected to ship today but I haven't received any type of confirmation on that.

Deprimed 595 223 in less than 25 minutes.

I ordered mine for depriming all my brass and the best part swaging primer pockets in 223, doing it with dillon super swage is a pain and this is super fast.

Mine works well with pistol, and 223 221 based cases but I spent hours yesterday using all the little tricks trying to make 17 hornet feed never got it right

So this new device is for depriming mostly ??

There are videos where it is also used a lot for sizing cast bullets as well
