QUESTIONS FOR LEE APP OWNERS

[johnnydogs]

Is it possible to de-prime and prime simultaneously on this press? Are you thrilled with it?
How much did you pay for it?

I see the prices are dropping on some Lee presses. I saw the APP press for $82 bucks and it seems every time I purchase some thing new from Lee it's like I have to purchase something else because it's required in order to use their product and it wasn't included in the price.

Thanks in advance
Johnny

I'm not familiar with the APP, and I love Lee products, but what can you expect for $82?

I have a Lee APP and it is very fast at the things I use it for but does have some limitations. It will decap my 9mm and .45 cases in no time at all. I also use it to size the .45 cases but because of the way the shell holder only holds the cases by the two sides when I try to size 9mm it tends to deform the bottom lip, so I don't use it for that. Strangely enough I don't have that problem when sizing .45 with it.

I do use it to expand the case mouth on both 9mm and .45 though, and it works well on that job.

I do all my reloading on a single stage press so the APP speeds things up quite a bit on the jobs it's able to do. I consider it a worthwhile investment. I think I paid just under $100 when I bought mine a year or so ago, when they first hit the market.

Here's a short video showing how fast you can run it:

I don't think you can since you prime with the Ram Prime.
