Lee ACP

Seems Lee is pumping out yet another new press modeled closely after the APP for 2021. This one is all about priming though.

It can also do decapping with an optional add-on.

Looks like a add on piece to the APP. I don't see it for sale as an accessory though. For those who already have an app.

I don't believe it is an add-on to the APP. The case feeder part looks identical, but I believe the base of the press required modifications.

Same press. different parts. watch youtube video on it. Don't know why it isn't sold as an add on like the swaging/bulge buster.

Its not quite the same. The base has no shellholder

The shellholder on the APP is part of the decapper or swager that is held in by the breechlock mechanism, which appears to be the same on the ACP.

The rear part of the toggle link that is made of solid stamped metal is slotted on the ACP, to make room for the primer chute. There may be a difference in the upper part that holds the die, there is some sort of centering fingers that are not present on the APP. Not sure if that could be easily retro-fitted to the APP.
