Will a Dillon roller handle fit on a LnL AP?
What is the thread size and TPI for the Dillon handle? |

Looks good but for $58 I'm not so sure, plus it's out of stock(or I would probably just bought it anyway) |

Wow that is exactly what I have been looking for. My Rockchucker and my LnL AP are mounted at the same height. I can process thousands of cases on the Rockchucker with no problems, but as soon as I do a few hundred cases on the LnL my back starts bothering me. The LnL lever goes lower than the one on the Rockchucker and makes you do this move: 
I made a spacer for my LnL and it raised it 3" from the bench. That was definitely and improvement but still a little painful on my back after a while. The ergonomic lever is 7" higher so it will take care of my back problem, but $58 is expensive. I think I will call Hornady and check the price on another lever for my LnL. It might be cheaper to just buy one from Hornady and then get it bent. |

I tried re-threading a Dillion handle, after cutting an inch off of the base of the shaft ( it was narrower then the threads on the cutting die) , I rethreaded it to the LNL size and put it on. For me ... it was to short to offer any easy leverage. In short ,( no pun intended),I didn't like it, mostly because of the re-threaded length. In hind-sight, I should have looked for some form of an extension to attach to the Dillion handle and re-thread that ( that creation now rests on the RockChucker and works well with that length of throw)....any-who...
I ended up with the Ultimate Reloader type handle, and I couldn't be happier. It does work just as the photo shows, and makes LNL operation much more comfortable. |
