I would think any of the liquid concoctions would work as lube to get the sizing done. I really liked the one that used the J&J liquid floor wax and LLA, but J&J dropped the wax from their line. Some guys swear bt LLA, Johnson paste was and mineral spirits they say it coats better and is less messy.

The press has no lubing possibilities, just bullet sizing. I waffled about switching to powder coating, I wish it would have been available, and I had changed to it 20 years ago.

My FIL switched his industrial line from liquid to powder in the early 1990's. He had been doing liquid for manufacturing since the '70's. Eastwood began offering home powder applications in the late 1990's if memory serves. Took a while for it to shake down to us I guess. I make so few bullets any more I cannot justify the equipment or the space. Some day when I retire I guess I could.

From Titan's Reloading newsletter today...
Titan Reloading wrote:Many of you have the new Lee Deluxe APP Press on back-order with us. We have received one pallet of these about a week ago and many more are on back-order with Lee Precision. We will be getting these very soon and we will ship them in the order the orders were placed. We have an APP Press set up in our showroom and really like it. We are planning to make some videos in the near future.

On November 29, I place my order for the APP along with a bench plate and the Primer Pocket Swage Kit.
I just received this email from Titan:

Your order has been updated to the following status:
Shipped


A few minutes ago I placed an order for an additional 4 Spline Lock Breech Block Bushings and a #3 X-Press shell holder for 30-30 brass.

I have been in a reloading holding pattern for the last couple of months, not wanting to start anything until all my brass has been primer pocket prepped. In three or four days,

It appears that the N.O.E. Bullet sizer bushings can be adapted to work in the APP and I already have some of the Breech Lock Bullet sizers in the calibers needed so I should be up and running again soon.

Good deal Tom, my press is being held up by the swagging kit. It's not in stock yet.

Michael,
I ordered mine with the swaging tool on Nov 29.
If your order was placed around that time, you will probably be getting it soon.

A month later, on Dec 29. I'm in no rush, I'm trying to clean my reloading room out to make room.
