Reverse engineering Hornady Lock n load press bushings

[rijndael]

Maybe I need to return the Hornady.

Forums attract complainers. Mine's been running fine for years and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Enjoy the purchase.

I should have 6 Lee press bushings coming in tomorrow (pic below)... I'm crossing my fingers that the hex head on the bushing is small enough that I can replace all the bushings on my LnL AP. The stations are fairly close together but hopefully i can thread in 5 Lee die adapters without them hitting each other!

Will post photos soon hopefully!

So long LnL bushings.......

We'll see if i miss them or not.

ALSO, i was thinking the other day...

Why are people concerned about movement or "play" with the LnL inserts when the Forster Coax press ALSO "floats" the die claiming a straighter operation? Wouldn't the "play" in the LnL inserts be preferred in that case? How is it different than the play in a CoAx press?

The main reason I switched is because I just got sick of buying bushings and having to twist them back and forth every time i wanted to change a die setting
