Last winter I bought the Lock N Load Classic reloading kit on sale at a fantastic price and I had a $30 coupon, I bought it for the free sonic cleaner and was going to sell the kit at a profit.
My son talked me into setting it up instead on the three single state presses I had. (I had four single stage presses). I sold two of them and kept two.
When you buy the ten pack of the incerts there is a Lock N Load adapter that comes with the ten piece set. I bought three of the ten pack so I had three of these adapters. I gave one to my son so I had two left.
A couple of weeks ago I took one on the old Pacific single stage presses to a friend who has a machine shop and had him bore out the press and tap it for the Lock N Load adapter. It cost me $60, it cost $149 for the actual press so I saved $90.
I haven't checked out the difference in the throw between the two presses yet to see if the distance is the same for the dies, if it is different I'll just tag the die sets as to which press they are set up for.
The reason for two of the Lock N Load presses is for when a friend want to come over and do some reloading I have two complete reloading set ups, Two presses, two sets of scales, two lever activated powder measurers and a electronic powder measerer plus other equipment that is needed.
Picture of the adapter and incert installed.
By the way I'm happy with the Lock N Load system, once set there is no re-adjusting on the dies unless I change projectiles.
