    If you buy a Hornady LnL AP press get an RCBS lock out die. The powder thrower is extremely accurate with powders I have used, but sometimes teething issues with the linkages etc can under or over throw a charge. Even if you're vigilant, a couple bad loads will get past you due to distractions.

    It is the best thing I have bought for reloading with the press, thanks to ebf's wife's advice.
    If you under or over throw a charge the die locks the arm and you can sort whats wrong without it getting past undetected.
    I can do a run of 500 9mm or .40 and the throws are within .1 at the beginning and end of the run. Accurate enough for good rifle ammo. Set the indexing (only done once from new), keep the shell plate and primer slide clean of powder, grease her up and pump out the ammo.
