<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Have any of you ever owned, now own, or had hands-on experience loading with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive? I would really appreciate some advice, recommendations, warnings, or whatever, from your hands-on experience on this reloader.

Use mine all the time, rifle and pistol. The more you use it the more you'll get into the strokes and even them out. Once you get the press working and feeding the plates correctly there is little need for adjustment. Buy the locking collets so you can change out the dies quickly and not have to readjust them the next time you want to use them.
In picture 2 they show the "fingers" that need adjusting for feed. I bought 2 extra sets after breaking my first one. Cause- a primer that didn't seat and jammed plus my determination of advancing it - smile. If it ain't smooth working take it apart at the plat and fix it - been there.
The powder adjust take more time then retooling after you setup your collets (they call them sleeves). Overall I like it, it is rugged enough, but not easy for a new reloader to setup.
