Product reviews for Deluxe APP Press Kit

I always told myself I would never reload .223. with prices increasing I decided to start being a brass goblin at the range. Now I've got lots of .223  brass. I bought this to process the brass, mainly to deprime and swage out the primer crimp. Man does this thing get it done fast. When I first opened the box it took me less than 30 minutes to figure out how it works and get it set up. I started with 9mm brass i had laying around and quickly deprimed about 500 in short order. I then started on my stash of .223. got through about 20 before a case got stuck and broke my decapper. Immediately contacted lee and they sent one in the mail. It's not their fault, but that is customer service. Decided to try the app swage kit on the brass I decapped and it worked fantastically fast.

Bottom line, if you got lots of brass to prep, this gets it done fast.

My Deluxe APP arrived last week. I’ve put at least 2,000 cases through so far. Primarily 9mm and 38 special. I also decapped some 380, 40 S&W, and 223. It takes a minute to set up the case feed magazine and you want it almost touching the handle so the cases drop consistently. Lube the slide and case pusher with some case lube to keep the cases moving smoothly. Depriming is basically flawless. Cases are perfectly centered. Order an undersized decapping pin or two, particularly for 223 cases. And get the case collator as well.
Priming cases is just as easy and reliable. Primer feed is brilliant. Miss a case or get one upside down, doesn’t matter. The primers just queue up.  I also used the APP successfully to resize my 9mm cases.  I used it for more processing on the 38 cases: resizing, expanding, trimming with the QuikTrim Die, and finally flaring.
Pro tip: make sure every cycle of the press is a full and complete stroke of the handle. Critical to make sure cases are centered correctly and the next case feeds reliably.
After your Breech Lock Challenger, this should be your second press.
