However, the base of the cam-wire has a nut holding it in place onto the press, if that's of any relevance. Oh well - whichever version I have, it works just fine:

That is Opus I.
Does your press have the new style eject system or the wire that kicks the loaded rounds out?

Re: Progressive setup comparison thread...

I don't have just one L-N-L configuration but my most out of the ordinary...
I deprime, size and expand in one pass. Cases then go into the soup for cleaning. Priming is its own operation.
Finally for loading:
Station 1 is powder drop.
Station 2 is Hornady lockout die.
Station 3 is Hornady bullet feeder.
Station 4 is Redding competition seating die.
Station 5 is Redding micrometer crimping die.

Most days: deprime/size/expand, cleaning then prime on the press during loading.
1 is empty
2 is powder
3 is lockout
4 is seating
5 is crimping

I like the bullet feeder and I worked with it until it will feed pretty much anything I want from cast to plated or jacketed. But I prefer to hand feed the bullets most of the time.

If I had it to do over again I'd get a Dillon 1050. IMHO, L-N-L = P-I-A. Dillon 650 is better but not enough to make me want to switch. I will get a 1050 one day.
