What's the link to get this Lee die from NOE to use the bushings in the APP? NOE's new site is a mess and I haven't been there in awhile. I just looked under "Sizing Tools" and can't seem to find it anywhere.
@@FullLeadTaco So this is jus the die that allows us to use the NOE bushings. Correct? Still need to purchase separate bushings. Do the bushings come with the push rod or are they separate also?
@@marcb2k correct, that is the die that allows you to use NOE bushings. You can order whichever sizes of bushings and push rods that you need. Lots of custom sizes available.
@@FullLeadTaco I sure did. That's gonna make quick work of large batches of bullets! I plan on getting one to make decapping go a lot faster, plus bullet sizing.
I was looking everywhere for an APP press , After watching this video I found one at NOE , I bought the NOE press stand also. I love it . I have done it all with this press . One great feature is with the primer pocket swagger I can easily sort out .45 acp brass with small primer pockets and not blow myself up ! When sizing bullets I just drop them in by hand , it's almost as fast as the slide car .
Nice! That's a pretty cool design. Way to go Lee. I really like my Lee reloading equipment. For the price they sell things for you really can't complain. Good stuff as always Taco.
Thats awesome that NOE and Lee are collaborating! I’ll be getting one of these presses eventually. I always have an easier time spending money on a new gun rather than reloading equipment. Thanks for sharing the video!
Yeah, I hear you on the guns vs reloading tools... It's always hard when I want to upgrade something in the reloading room that costs a bunch... I always think, what could I buy if I don't upgrade this part...
Nice video! I got my APP press after everybody else in the world it seemed. I had it on order for many weeks, but i think some other items on the order held it up at Titan Reloading where i bought it. Mine has all black plastics except for a couple red pieces. That is really neat how Lee and NOE got together and made NOE punches and dies fit the App press. I may have to go look thru NOE's Punches and dies to see if they have anything I dont have covered by Lee's
Taco, I just read about Lee's APP press about a month ago and I been reading every thing about it so ordered one from Midway USA. Great video Great mount, & good info.
Good Video! Thank you I enjoyed it from start to finish. You can make some simple risers for your NOE stand. Use a piece of 1 x 4 or 2 x 4 between the bench and the stand. You might be able to have enough room under it for all your needs
Thanks for posting this video. I don't resize bullet, but I do de-prime a lot and bulge bust when I need to. I also have the swage kit on order. Apparently it is touring Texas because according to UPS, it made it to Houston (near me), but now it is back in Dallas! :(
I had one of the first APP presses. Love this little press. I will be putting up a video hopefully today with mine. I will show the Inline Fab roller handle attached and my new case/bullet feeder. I have many videos of the press on my channel. Great video Taco.
I will take a look. One of the worries of the roller handle with the current "arms" is that if you put it on the right side, there is a little torque on the right side instead of the pressure going straight down.
Nice vid - I like the way it was set up. I hate it when guys want to bore you to death with too much talk at the beginning. I just picked up this press and after only a couple days I love it already.
Writing around Christmas 2021, would appear that NOE is having trouble keeping up. I see what appears to be the APP adapter you used in the video, and I see the bushings. What I can't tell from neither your video nor their site, is the top punch(es) to use, and they appear to be sold out at the moment, anyway. Still would appreciate your input, for when the supply catches up.
@@FullLeadTaco Good news. Im out of town on work and just got noticed my order from powder by the pound arrived. I now have the basic tools. First project will be NOE 106gr .243 bullets. using those to Fire from my 6mm remington into 6mm Ackley imp. Then the 500gr .458 for my marlin guide gun and Browning 1886 with t a 26" octagon barrel. Should be fun. Im also going to order some prismatic powder for comparison... www.prismaticpowders.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN32BRCCARIsADZ-J4uTWLpFhVUM_TRtSJtfFQs_rtSoMP1hPeljFae0c--xGYQ2jsHgaScaAi0BEALw_wcB
@@DK_6.5 let me know how it goes. Also, will probably want to slow the cast bullets down a bit from the jacketed ones. But go ahead and play around and let me know how it all goes.
@@FullLeadTaco Question... How does the 458 socom powder work? I have never tried the manufacturer before. Would that work with a 45/70 and 500gr bullets?
@@DK_6.5 the 45-70 usually uses different powders than the 458 socom, but some powders transfer over. 458 socom is more similar to the 300 blk when it comes to powders.
I just found out about this a couple days ago. I just converted 2000 LC blanks to 300 blackout. I really wish I knew about this because it would have been sweet for the forming and primer pocket swaging.
If you inverter the brace of the press, you can put the rolling handle in the center of brace, will be very strong and robust grip from how to you use now. Try dude, is simple, fast and cheap upgrade!
interesting... well, I just got a roller handle from loadsofbacon/thereloadersnetwork--I will try that out. I also know lee has created their own roller handle, but it isn't in stock yet.
Do you think there is enough leverage to swage or size a 0000 buck pellet at .380. To .308 or .314? Anyone with experience? I'm attempting to do gallery loads.
Hey Taco, thanks for the video, well done review. Question, do you lube your bullets prior to sizing? I’ve taken to using case lube on the bullets prior to sizing to smooth out the process and eliminate galling. Thoughts?
I have done that but in general what I found makes it really big difference is the level of surface finish on the sizing die. A little slit rod of smaller diameter then your dye and some thousand grits sandpaper with oil on it in a drill for a minute or two will make that a nice high polish on the inside. You can feel the difference when you're sizing.
@@gregggibson3109 I think you will be pleased with the results. I've also used coarser abrasives to hone up to a corrected dimension before. Those conical Dremel felt nibbons with red rouge will give a very nice final polish if you've got one.
Good video! 👍 Better switch over to your left arm 💪 every other tube or you'll look like a guy from the Freak Show, with one huge arm and one girly arm. 🤠
Do the bolts come with it to mount it to your bench? Thank you I just bought one of these. I bought the lee AP press and it did not come with the mounting bolts washers etc. Do you know if 1/4 will work for the bolts? You video sold me on the bench mount thank you
I did a 3d model of the tube holders so you can have them setup for each bullet caliber and length - just cut the 1/4-20 bolts to the right length www.thingiverse.com/thing:4201779

yeah, this little press should come with a roller handle for running large batches to reduce hand fatigue
Very cool. 👍👍🇺🇸🤓
Thanks tim!
You need to switch arms at that pace .
or do left handed pushups after?
Hou well does this work with resizing roundnose bullets
Some it does better than others. The really short 9mm round nose it had a little harder time, but the 133gr 9mm it seemed to work fine.
Do you think there is enough leverage to swage or size a 0000 buck pellet at .380.
To .308 or .314? Anyone with experience?

You thinking of one pass? Or doing it in steps?
@@FullLeadTaco I saw it done on a video in 1 pass. But I imagine that's taxing everything. I don't want to break anything.
It would be easier to do it in 2 steps
Hey LEAD Taco Inline Fabrication has a roller handle that is adaptable do your Lee APP press.
Lee must be watching because they just announced their own kit for $30
that handle looks a bit short, makes it look like you are really working to move it at the working part of the range.
I feel like when I'm doing it normal and not trying to fly with it, it is sized right--but I could really use a roller handle.
on my list fo sho ! 👍😃
Hair? At least you HAVE hair! 😂🤣
Your right arm is going to look like Popeye's, if you continue at that pace!💪
lol, I really need a roller handle
hahaha
Hey Taco, thanks for the video, well done review. Question, do you lube your bullets prior to sizing? I’ve taken to using case lube on the bullets prior to sizing to smooth out the process and eliminate galling. Thoughts?
Yes, I like to use a little Hornady unique case lube. You don't have to use much to make a big difference. It seems to protect the powder coating too.
I have done that but in general what I found makes it really big difference is the level of surface finish on the sizing die. A little slit rod of smaller diameter then your dye and some thousand grits sandpaper with oil on it in a drill for a minute or two will make that a nice high polish on the inside.
