LEE APP (Automated Press)

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

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.
 
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
