WTB/WTTF: Hornady L&L AP Lock Rings

Caveman Jim · Nov 9, 2023

I just acquired one of these presses and now I need 6 or more Locking Rings AND die bushings.

I have, 1pound containers of A#2 and TiteGroup pistol powders for trade. Will need to be a F2F meet, not shipping the powder.

Here's what I need:
6) Locking rings
6) die bushings

A bit far from me but I know Bi-mart has those on sale and you can order them.

I'd like to buy local before I am SOL & have to order on the inter-webs.

You'll want to order a couple extra shell plate springs and it has 3 zerk fittings, use them. Any questions, just ask. I make alot of ammo with my 2 L-N-L's. No spare parts to trade though.

Thanks Mike, that's good to know the pertinent information from people who use the same presses.

I looked through the owners manual and I did not see anything about what type of grease should be used for a lubricant. Will normal automotive grease work?

That's what I've used for 15+ years on my LNL AP. I bought a small grease gun with the small grease tubes at Hobo Freight.

I use the Red & Tacky #2 from Lucas but any grease is better than none. Based my choice on this video.

I also have the lock n lube fitting on the end of my grease gun.

For the parts that don't have the grease fittings I just spray it with the Hornady OneShot lube every now and than (about once a month depending on usage) this is also stated as a good way to lube it according to Hornady. As for the grease fittings I've looked in my book for the press and didn't see anything about any specific grease type used but might have missed it. Anti-seize grease is probably what I'd go with.
