Lee APP Press

[JaredT175]

Looking to get something for primer pocket swaging. I have an xl750 and plan to load a bunch of 5.56 range brass many with crimped primers. Any thoughts on the Lee APP with the swaging kit? I like that it has casefeed ability and can be used for things other than just swaging. Need to know if it’s junk or not

It has a lot of plastic parts. Takes a little bit to get it set up right. But once it is running smooth I can knock out a lot of brass. I have swaged, primed and now I FL resize with the RCBS AR small base die and the fancy pass through shell holder. Make sure you lube your cases really good if you are going to resize.
It is 100% worth it.

Agree with SanPatHogger, the Lee stuff can be a little fiddly to get running smoothly, but once you do it is fast.
I feed one from a case feeder and it goes really fast, but does require cleaning and maintenance to stay smooth.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
