Anyone here(dare I say)"run" Hornady reloading eguipment?
Might have a lead on some stuff, press, dies, powder measure.
Worth it or spend my money else where?

I've been having good luck with their custom grade "new dimension" dies.
Have never used any of their other equipment.
Supposed to be good stuff though.

I use their dies and they are well made.
Have not used any of their other goods yet but they should be top notch as well.

I use their hand priming device. I like it a lot.
I also have a small powder dispenser for pistol rounds that utilizes bushings. That's doesn't get used much since I started using a progressive press for pistol rounds. It worked good though...

I love their dies, especially the seat die which has a drop down bullet holder. I also love my lock-n-load progressive press.
Don't think you can go wrong with Hornady for the money.

More than pleased with their dies and my LnL system.

I, also, have had excellent results with their New Dimension dies. The runout that I've measured on finished ammo out of those dies is no more than what I get out of my Bonanza Benchrest dies.

I have a LNL progressive press with Hornady dies. It's worked well for me loading handgun cartridges.

I bought the lock n load kit about 10 years ago. The single stage press is still going strong. Only problem is buying enough bushings for all your dies. I would highly recommend hornady brand loading presses.

I'm reasonably satisfied with the one set of .30-30 Hornady dies I have but they don't run anywhere, they just lay on the bench. Doubt I'll buy any more tho, .30-30 ain't no target cartridge anyway but that slidding bullet guide is too sloppy fitted to do any good for alignment, same as the expensive RCBS' "Comp" and "Gold Metal" seaters.
Saying "Lock 'n Load" about Hornady tools is meaningless, they slap that silly label on about half of what they sell.

I use the hornady lock rings on my Redding dies in my Redding press, next to my Redding scale.

I use the hornady lock rings on my RCBS dies in my RCBS press, next to my RCBS chargemaster dispenser/scale and RCBS trim mate case prep center.
