Mostly Home-Grown Hornady Lock-N-Load Primer Check
I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks now. I’ve found so much help and good information on the web from folks, hopefully this is helpful to somebody else with C.C.P. (can’t count primers)
I regularly run out of primers while make ammo and don’t realize it. I’m paying attention to the load by measuring, I’m checking OAL etc. on an interval and for whatever reason, I can’t seem to keep track of the number of remaining primers. Having a LNL AP, and after much forums reading and research, there are limited “off the shelf” solutions that I consider reasonable. Hornady makes a “LNL Basic Control Panel” but even the lowest price is about $120 and then you have to purchase the various options you want. Too much for my taste. I don’t need a counter and I don’t need a powder check, though I've knocked around the powder check just for cool factor.
Here is what I did for about $35 and it works great.
