Just sharing recent experience.

Been using Hornady LNL for about 10 yrs.  Loading 9 mm 147 gr DG TC coated bullets.  Had the press mounted on a custom I beam mounted on a bench and very nice ammo, super reliable in all guns.  BUT, works so well didn’t want to change calibers (45) and monkey up the thing and spend time resetting. So I bought the In - Line Fabricator Universal mount that has the quick chande adapter.  Then bought another LNL set it up for 45 ACP.  Set it up for the 200 gr DG bullet TC.

Brings up point #2.  I was using a Redding Pro series seating die. Was shaving some of the powder coating on about a quarter of the bullets on the 45. Switched to the Hornady  seater and stem and it’s perfect so far.

Oh yeah, point 3 and main reason for post (old age)  my Hornady powder measure is very consistent.  Been  using True Blue powder for the 45 - meters great and burns clean even with a relatively light 45 load.

Thank you for the post. I enjoy my Hornady LNL press. I have everything I need for 9mm, .38 Special and .45 ACP.   It would be nice to have a dedicated press for each. I must enjoy it. I have more ammo loaded than I seem to find time to shoot. 
 

I may need to try DG Bullets. I shoot a 124 gr. coated bullet by Missouri Bullet Company using Unique. They shoot well.
