Works great. Primer slides stick every now and then so i polished it and it works great. Bullet feed tubes are nice and make for a cheaper version than the automatic bullet feed setup. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Being a single stage reloader for well over two decades, I decided I needed a faster way to produce 9MM ammo. I purchased two new 9MM pistols and needed a faster way to produce ammo. After a month of research, I decided on the Hornady A/P press. I actually read the instruction manual first and then went ahead with some testing and tweaking. This machine produces a quality round in a very short time.

I had reloaded on the Hornady classic reloading press for about ten year’s. And got this press about 1 month ago. I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this press. And can load about 400 rounds per hour. I highly recommend this press or any other Hornady product.

Best investment I have made in a long time. With hard to find ammunition at this time , reloading is the way to go I have reloaded 9mm, 40cal. 223. 30-06 and 8mm Mauser all with ease. This is the best press on the market

Setup instructions could be better for the powder measure but otherwise I’m very happy with it
