Get your Lee APP running fast!!

- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Wanted to show off this awesome kit of upgrades for the Lee APP. This kit will turn your APP into a major brass processor!! Off the start, you get a 6 tube system! These are taller than the standard Lee tubes, so each tube holds more brass, plus you get 2 more!! That's a huge time saver. The collator on the top is ridiculously better than the Lee item. I typically have to still feed my brass in by hand with the Lee, and this thing just swallows a few handfuls at a time. It also comes with a funnel for those large cases that don't work with the collator that is very open, so hand feeding is super easy. The tubes come in Standard and Magnum. Easy and quick to change between the tube sizes.
The Base assembly is another work of art. It has detent balls, so each turn clicks into place and holds very well. It is much, much beefier than the standard Lee. The drop tube is going to be caliber specific, and they are easy to swap when you need to make a caliber change.
Next up are a few little improvements that really make this press sing!!
This has a little case deflector to help prevent your brass from jumping out of line with the feed pawls. I show an example of this in the video. After installing the deflector, they drop right in place every time!
Then the feed pawls included are much larger and able to open wider. Really helps to ensure that the brass is always grabbed and pushed on the shuttle into position and released perfectly.
Also, great color instructions are included!! Helps a lot with the assembly and installation process. And the packaging is great. Your order will arrive in excellent shape, even with our current postal service, lol.

If you have any questions or other tests you want me to do with this, let me know and I'll get to work on it. The guy that makes this is great at responding to questions sent to his eBay store.
This is a private range. All shooting is done in a safe, controlled environment with no people or dwellings within miles to be at risk.
Love the video! I am the one who makes this. I will keep the introductory price on the listing for a couple weeks so your subscribers can get this at a discount! If anyone has any questions let me know!
Here we go!! Any questions, this is the man who made these great upgrades! Appreciate the chance to get in on the early pricing and you know I'm happy with how it's working out so far!! Thanks again!
I'm glad your enjoying it! I can't wait to see you put it to work in your future videos!
@LongRangeReloader For sure! Got a few more ideas I'll be trying out when I get a chance. Get that shuttle smoothed out and show the fix that finally works and I got the swage kit to test out.
Have a great weekend!!
I need this! How do I get it? I just started reloading on a budget and need this to make this thing sing! Great idea man!!
Hi Steve! There is a link to his ebay page in the video description. If you have any specific questions, send him a message. He is great at answering questions and making sure you get what you need! I am going to be ordering another adapter soon for the new bolt action I am getting into.
This set up is solid and really makes it so you can run through a lot of brass very quickly. I will be making another video on the APP pretty soon. Got some tips to fix my spring problem I want to try and show off how it works. When I don't have that spring bending on me, I can really run this fast!!
If you have a Lee APP, this addition makes it much more efficient. Happy to help any way I can!
Thanks for watching, and have a great week!!
I installed a rod inside my spring to make it more rigid. Still allows stretching but won't kink. A coat hanger cut to length or old WD 40 hose works too. For all Lee presses with springs.
Thanks for the tip, Dave! I actually just found out about the aerosol spray tube trick last week. Got a few sitting next to the APP that I'm going to install and try. In theory, I can see it solving that issue very well. If so, I'll be making a video showing it off. Got a few more things to test with this and make videos about. Squirrel Daddy decap pins, the Swage kit, and fixing the spring issue are video topics on my list!!
I appreciate you watching and leaving a helpful comment for everyone to see!!
I hope you have a great week, Dave! I'd be happy to have you stick around and see the other things I have in the works that will be coming out the rest of the summer!! Be well!!
@@ChadKelly7 happy to help, I've been playing with these presses since August. They really are cool, they just need some small tweaks. I'll be posting myself once I set my channel up. I have some cool tools coming I know people will appreciate. I really like the community sharing here on UA-cam, it's such a great platform for learning and sharing.
I just used my Lee Classic Turret press to reload .308.
@Dave Spin Good deal! Come back here and let me know when you get your video posted. Or comment on whichever video I have out the week you get started. I'm trying to post at least 1 video a week, usually on Thursday evenings if I get all the editing done in time. Should have my 1st shots in the new bolt action build video out this week. Either way, swing by and let me know. Happy to check your video out and try to help you out.
This is a great place to share information and meet people with similar interests. It is hard to get views on videos when new, but I'll try to share what I've learned if you want. There are a few tricks to it for sure 🤣
Glad to meet ya and look forward to what you'll be sharing! Have a great week!!
@@ChadKelly7 i will certainly share and be back. Building a channel takes time. I had a drum channel, soon a guitar channel. Its capturing good video, good audio and content people want and lack from other channels, or support content from others. Often people are looking for validation of their own ideas or new ideas not fully supported yet.
Its a challenge we all face. 👍
Dave Spin Sounds like you have a good grasp on the working of UA-cam already! That helps a lot. I've wanted to make videos for most of my life, just got serious in December. Squeezing the time to film, then edit into a full work week is a challenge. I miss most Tuesdays because work is hectic. But wanted to come back and let ya know it seems you have a good grasp on the basics and should be able to make it work!! Main thing is have fun, or it's not worth it🤣.
Good luck and I'll see you around I hope!!!
Keep your spring straight ,wrap 3/4 inches in middle of spring with electral tape end of problem works great, Charlie.
Thank you, Charles! I have not heard that one before. Someone suggested the aerosol straws inside the spring, but your idea I can see working well also. Keeping that area that tends to bend in place. I like it. Might do a video comparing the fixes, or at least showing both methods. Now that work slowing down in the colder months, I have plans for 2 or 3 more APP focused videos I want to make.
Glad to have you check out one of my videos and follow along! I appreciate the comment and sub!!
Have a great evening, Charlie!!
Wow!! Nice looking set up he got there.....
Thanks Michael! It is coming along. Still in the process of setting some new things up and then organizing and cleaning up better. Off to a good start tho!! More will be coming from my reloading room for sure. Enjoying learning this stuff and sharing it all!
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the comment!! Have a great weekend!!
Very cool Chad, have a great Sunday
Thanks Chris! It sure helps to speed up the process a little more and that's my favorite thing to do. Find ways to save time!!
Enjoy your Sunday man!!
Enjoyed this, great video! I want that brass feeder.
Thank you for taking a look! It works great. I like depriming before cleaning or any other steps. This is great to speed that up.
He sells this on eBay. He will answer any questions you may have. Great guy!!
Have a great week, sir! See you on the next one!!
Finally some who has links to the manufacturer. Thks. I'll be subing as well. Get vid
Thank you, David!! I try to take some time and make my descriptions full of as much info as I can and add anything I may have forgot in the video 🤣
I really appreciate this comment. Glad to know the extra effort is noticed!! And thank you for the sub! Got in just before I start some big projects. Have a Stealth Arms Platypus in the last weeks of getting made. And starting to put together my first bolt action project. Barreled action arrived yesterday, building the next few days after work! Very excited to show this one off!!!
Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you around on future videos!! Have yourself a wonderful weekend, David!!!
Chad, stick a red tube off a brake cleaner can in the spring. It will strengthen it a little and help it run better
Hey, Tomme Boy! I have a few tubes on my bench ready to go when I get ready to run my next batch thru the APP. Also got the tip to wrap some electrical tape around the middle of the spring to stiffen it. Thinking of trying both ways and see which performs better. That spring is my only real complaint about the APP, so when I get that running smoothly, I will be set up for fast brass processing. Most things I do are leaning towards trying to save as much time as I can, so this Lee is a huge help to decap a lot of brass very fast. Going to test the swage kit when I do another batch of 5.56 brass as well. Too many projects, not enough time 🤣
Appreciate you stopping by and checking one of my videos, dude! I hope you have an awesome 2024!!!
Great review and video. New subscriber and look forward to more of your videos!
Awesome! Thank you, Beau! I really appreciate that. I am actually just home from work and about to edit my video thos week. It is running this APP with pistol brass. Had someone want to see it run some 9mm, so I was rained out from my range this weekend and decided to switch it up and run some pistol brass!! I try to do cool and fun things here. If you want to see anything specific, feel free to let me know and I will try to make it happen!!!
Have a great week and an awesome 2024!
Subbed from the GSC chat
Awesome! I just got you added to my sub list as well!! Thanks for coming by to see me.
Have yourself a great weekend, trees!!
Awesome video! PLEASE make another with pistol brass!!!
Thank you, Robert! I appreciate that. I am in the zone right now working up a load for my PRS rifle in 6 Creedmoor. Dropping new video in a few mins this evening!
But, I will put this on my list. I want to make another Lee APP video testing a few spring fixes I've had suggested, so you just told me what I should run through it in that test!! I will make it happen here soon as I can!
Thank you for watching, and I hope you stick around. Back in the loading groove now that work is a little slower in cooler months. You will see more from me for sure!!!
Have a great 2024, Robert!!!
Hey, Robert. I just posted a video on this. I change the adapters and set it up to run 9mm. Ran through a few just about as fast as I can run the handle!!
Check it out when you get a chance.
I got rained out of my practice last weekend, so I took the time to set up and film this since you asked to see it run pistol brass.
Have a great one!!
great upgrade Chad
It is pretty great!!
Thanks for stopping by, man! I appreciate it.
Where can I order that Lee Custom Universal Case Feeder 6 Shooter? Great video!
Hello! Thanks for watching. There should be a link in the description, but I will copy/paste it here below direct to his ebay listing for it. I actually just got another conversion for mine for my upcoming 6 Creedmoor work I'll be doing this winter!! It is pretty great at speeding the APP up. Have a great Thanksgiving!
www.ebay.com/itm/304871603120?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zsOSMUxATYu&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=zsOSMUxATYu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I will be making a few more videos on the APP and this system over the winter as I have time. Got a few more little things for it and a trick I found out to try and keep that shuttle spring from getting wonky, lol. I'd be happy to have you as a subscriber and keep up with what I'm doing!
Collator works well with pistol ammo only.
It works pretty great on the pistol ammo for sure.
I have used it with .223 and 6 Creedmoor. It's a little slower than the pistol brass, but worked decently well.
It helps to dump in the middle. And make sure to swap out the inserts. First time I forgot to swap those and had a lot of upside down cases in the tubes. Switched to proper inserts and dropped correct every time.
When a tube is filled, it is harder to get the remaining to find an open hole.
If you are having issues with a specific case, I will try to help if I can. Or email the guy who makes it, he was very helpful getting things set up initially and any time I needed something, he responded fairly quickly!
Much faster for me having these huge tubes!! I like to save time wherever I can.
Thanks for stopping by and watching. Have a great evening and an awesome week!!
APP is a winning press a "Must Have" item just for the bullet sizing option. Good stuff.
I have not got into the casting stuff yet, but planning to learn at some point. Good to know I can use some of the tools I already have when I get to it! Like this for decapping before cleaning right now. Gonna test it for swaging on my next batch of crimped primer pockets!
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!! Have yourself a great weekend, sir!!
@ChadKelly7 The APP works great for pocket swaging, I ran through 1500 5.56 lake city brass last week in a few hours with Lee's pocket swager kit after depriming and resizing them the night before, having the case feeder makes life _soooo_ much easier. It sure takes a bit to set right but once it's set it just chooches.
@@TheExplosiveGuy I use the APP for swaging on .223 as well, I got rid of all the auto feed stuff and do them all single stage. The auto feed works but I don't need it for smaller quantities I shoot. I did use the auto feed for 10,000 9mm I prepped a while back though, took about 2 weeks doing a bit each night, worked great.
@TheExplosiveGuy That is great to hear! I love saving time. Why I got this kit to have more tubes that hold more brass each!! Have that swage kit ready to test and a fix for the spring issue to try also. And some Squirrel Daddy pins. Gonna have the APP processing like a champ soon.
I am getting another big batch of brass piling up, so about time to get back on it and film my spring fix suggestion to show how it works of it fixes the problem!
Thanks for checking this video. I appreciate it a lot.
Have a great rest of your week!!!
@@ChadKelly7 If it's the "Spring Issue" that I've heard about, you just stick the little tube that comes with a spray can of WD40 inside the spring and it doesn't kink as badly, also you should give it a half twist when hooking it up. I never needed to do the "Tube Trick" because it just works as advertised.
Nice setup, Brother 👊 ... thanks for sharing the Ebay link😉👍🇺🇸 Subbed🍻
Thank you! This is my little deprime quickly before tumbling set up. Trying a few more things to get it running smoothly on that little shuttle and also going to test it for swaging soon as well. Like this APP for quick work and this upgrade is very nice compared to the Lee stuff. This collator is AMAZING!!! hahaha
Very much appreciate the comment and sub, I just got you as well!! The guy making this item is pretty cool and will answer any questions if you have any, but I tried to show off the features of his system as best I could.
Thanks again, and I hope you have a great weekend!!!
I agree 100% I've ordered mine thank you
Awesome!! Dude has been very helpful and makes a great product. Got a new thing to try for the spring issue. If it works out, I'll make a video about that also.
Going to ordering a new tube for my new bolt action caliber. Just built a 6 Creedmoor for PRS and I will be starting to work on my loads for that soon. Fire forming some factory loads to get started this weekend!! I'm really excited to start learning PRS and got a build video and zeroing video out now.
Appreciate you watching and happy to help spread some info!! I hope you have a great weekend, sir!!!!
Very nice upgrade, and exceptionally well presented, Chad. I’m going to look into it myself! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
Thank you!! He said he would keep the intro pricing for a bit if anyone wants to get it before the price goes to around 200. Guess I got one of the first ones to test for him! I appreciate the kind words and I hope you have a great week!!
Nice review Chad. Just found your channel, will stay a while!
Thank you, Alex!! Much appreciated. You found me at a good time if you like reloading, my work slows down in the cooler months. I am getting into starting my load for my PRS rifle, so there will be some 6 Creedmoor loading videos over the next few weeks. Tonight will be looking at the AMP running brass automatically!! Really cool stuff.
Feel free to let me know if you see anything around my benches you want a better look at and I'll put it on my video list and get something made about it. Always happy to help people however I can.
I hope you have a great weekend and a Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks for sharing. Very cool upgrade.
Hey, Tim! Thanks for checking it out. In my quest to speed up anything I can I found this. It is pretty great!! I need to make another video on the APP soon. Almost time to run another big batch thru and show off the last little upgrades I'm doing to this.
Appreciate you watching! Have a great week, dude!!!
@@ChadKelly7 Great, can't wait to see what you got. Cool video.
Looks like solid set up but price is more than press cost me 😂
🤣🤣 I made that joke to myself as well. Spent more to make it work faster than the actual press cost!! But I put higher priority on doing things quickly, so for me this helps a lot for what I use it for.
Gonna try Walter's spring trick also. Seems like it will work well!! Super easy also. Might finally have everything figured out on this one!!
Thanks for stopping by. I was leaving my range yesterday and got on your live right at the end. Didn't finish my sentence and it ended 🤣. Have a great week, dude!!
If you have a Lee APP, for sure check this out!! It's really great for more capacity, a collator that actually works, and better feed pawls to ensure everything runs smoothly!! I appreciate you checking it out. Link to eBay store for this is in the description. Let me know if you have any questions!! Have a great rest of your day!!
To solve the problems with the spring on the APP press take a straw from a WD-40 spray can and insert in in the spring an trip to length.
Appreciate that tip! My only complaint is that spring, lol. I have plenty of those straws around. I will give it a try. If it works I'll make another video about it for sure!! Seems like it will. I can imagine it keeping the spring straight. Great idea, thank you much!!
Have a great 4th of July, Ed. Appreciate you watching my video!!
Don't You ever get the decap pin stuck in 223 case mouth with fired brass? I deprime before cleaning/sizing, it happens a lot and it really is annoying...
I did have 1 on my second run when I started using this. I mangled it all up. Had to cut the case apart to get it separated from the pin and upper holder assembly 🤣
Pretty sure I figured that I was going too fast and slightly short stroking when it was pushing the case into place. It was not lined up correctly over the hole in the bottom, so I was pushing the primer into the frame of the APP. It didn't move so it destroyed the pin. I went slower after getting new pin and made sure to watch that the case was centered over the ejection hole. A few millimeters caused me huge headache. I would suggest making sure you are fully running the stroke and the case is lined up first. The next issue is the possible berdan primed case. They get into range pick up brass I have heard. 2 holes instead of 1 and they eat many a decap pin when they get into a batch of normal boxer primed brass.
Those 2 things to watch for are my suggestions. Let me know if either of those suggestions help. If not, I will add that to my next video on this I have planned to show my fixes for the annoying things. Might be good to show the chance of misalignment and busted pins.
Appreciate you watching and hope I was helpful! I hope you have a great week!!
Which option did you get? There is a drop down menu with a lot of options.
I see that the options have changed a bit, Miles.
The closest would be the 2-4 kit. That looks like it has what I got initially, but I only was doing 2 calibers at that time, so I only requested adapters for those 2. The standard collator top works for my 6 Creedmoor, so I've not used the funnel top yet.
I started with 2 adapters, then added the .308/6.5CM/6CM when I built my PRS rifle over the summer.
Depends which calibers you load, but the full set in the 2-4 or 5-9 would be the best way to get a complete set for a range of options.
If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll answer as best as I can! And he is really good at helping out if you contact him thru ebay. Great system, really can up the quantity and speed you can run it. I did a few more recent videos the last several weeks. Fixed my spring issue and ran some 9mm thru it about as fast as I could raise and lower the handle! I was pushing them thru quite quickly!
Thanks for checking one of my videos! I hope to see you around more in the future. Have yourself a great week, Miles!!!
Damn, this just popped up on my feed and I need this. Just curious, what was the introductory price, or is thar still the price right now? Need to know if i really need to jump on this now. Seems like a game changer.
Hey!! I am glad you found this! The kit is pretty awesome. The pinned comment is the guy who makes this. I can email him and check the current price and see what he's got them at now. He is great at responding to eBay messages also if you have any questions.
I'll see if I can get an answer for ya tho.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the watch. Got lots of cool stuff in the works this summer if you want to stick around. Building a bolt action this weekend, a Platypus from Stealth Arms, and more cool reloading room things to get to.
Have a great weekend, and I'll msg when I hear!!
@Chad Kelly appreciate it, thanks! I subbed and looking forward to the original content!
@Rawwrrr Awesome! I appreciate it.
I already sent him an email to check and I'll let ya know when I get an answer! Off to start putting this bolt action together for a bit!!
@Rawwrrr Hey, he said the price has not gone up yet! So still got some time on it!!
@@ChadKelly7 AMazing! Thanks for the follow up!
👍👍
Thanks for stopping by and checking this one out!! Have a great day, MCK!!!
I wonder if the works or can be adapted to work on the Six pack press…
Hey, Nick. Good morning! I went ahead and emailed the guy who makes this. I needed to ask about ordering another caliber conversion for my upcoming 6 Creedmoor bolt action build I'll be starting this weekend. Action is coming in today, finally!! Should be a nice build, and I'm gonna share it all here as I go along the process to learn about it all.
When I get an answer back, I'll message you again and let ya know if this can be adapted to the Six Pack press!!
Thanks for watching, and I hope you have a great week!!
Got word back today. He said several people are using this on the Lee Six Pack press! Give it a try, saves a lot of time with the much better top collator and extra tubes!! Have a good one, Nick.
🤟🏽👍🏼🤘🏼
Thanks for taking a look, CW!!! I appreciate it as always. Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend, good sir!!
@@ChadKelly7 Right back at ya brother!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏼🤟🏽🇺🇸
You are using it wrong. Look at other peoples videos on this press. You shake the cola or too fast and with shallow movement. And put some dry lube on that case feeder so it stops getting stuck.
Yeah, had some gunk on the slider/feeder part. Got it cleaned up after this video and some Hornday dry luve spray. Fixed that problem. Running smoothly now.
I'll try a few other ways with the collator, but after this first time with this one I got better. Seems to work better when dropping cases more on the center.
It does the job. If I get a chance, I'll ask the guy who makes this if there is a better way to use his collator.
Thanks for watching. Have a great week.
Sorry. I'm not a Lee fan.
For most things, I agree. This APP is a single use item. Wanted something to just decap quickly before I clean. Actually spent more on things to make it work better than the press cost 🤣. That seems to be the Lee standard lol. For the actual processes, I use more robust products. This does the job I want it to do, so I'm happy with it now that I upgraded it!
Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate it and hope you have a great weekend!!
@ChadKelly7 I load with a Lyman 8 turret press and have a RCBS Rockchucker for a single stage press that I do decapping on and then only use that press for my precision 338LM long distance competition shooting loads. I have a nice "Reloading Lab" that has grown exponentially since 1988 when I started reloading. I can't believe it! You have a great weekend also!
@Ken M. Nice!! I'm new to this, just got a Hornady LNL for pistol in Sept. 2021. Now have a MEC Marksman for rifle, Henderson trimmer, Primal Rights CPS and just got in an AMP and the Amp Mate. Still in boxes, but should have the Dillon case feeder delivered today so I can set up automatic annealing!! This Lee is literally the only Lee thing I have and just for decapping. Gonna try it for swaging also to see if it'll work for saving time. You got some nice equipment!! I've found this is easy to keep adding new tools for precision or speed.
Have a good one!!
@ChadKelly7 35 years worth! It's a sickness my friend. Where are you located?
@Ken M. I am finding this out real quick. I get into it, then find a part I don't like or takes too much time, then find the best tool I can afford to rectify that problem. I'm getting a lot of nice tools now!!
I am down in southwest Oklahoma! Battling the winds. About to start my journey with bolt action soon. Trying to pick my caliber. Fighting winds and wanting to do PRS type stuff on my property. Always more to learn!!
