Just got my LNL AP, after a long wait for some backordered accessories. Seems very nicely made, and a complete package with spares, etc.
Everything is covered with a coat of light oil that Hornady says is good protection from rust but a poor lubricant. I wondering what other folks have done. Of course the entire powder measure has to be thoroughly degreased and dry-lubed, but the rest of the press I'm thinking I'll just wipe off and lube the wear points. There are three zerks for grease, I'll just use my marine grease, 'cause it's already in the small grease gun. The linkage pivot points I'll use light machine oil. The shell plate detent balls, grease per Hornady's directions. What else?
Thanks,
M
