Hornady Lock and Load. Anyone use it?

Like the title says. I recently picked one up but I am having trouble with the case feeder.
I got everything to work but when it comes time to drop on the tray that slides to the shell holder, it drops 3 to 4 cases. What do I need to do to get it drop just 1 case each time?

I am not sure, I looked at the manual and tried to find some videos on youtube. I cant find anything that clearly shows how its suppose to sit/be adjusted.

If you decide against the case feeder I'd be interested in either buying or trading for it.

I am sorry, I would like to figure it out and keep it. I have 2 lock n load systems. I eventually think I would want to get another case feeder

my Lee Progressive has a case feeder.

you can make it work.

everytime i would change cals it would have to be adjusted all over. mine has a rod from a stationary end to an end that rides on what moves the case. i have bent it some to adjust.

I have one that would occasionally drop two cases. Some of Hornady's written instructions are less than clear but I have this same observation about other companies' instructions too.

I just fiddled with mine until it behaved better. I can't recall whether I raised or lowered the drop tube.

You know that you can just call Hornady Customer Service for help. They keep banker's hours but are usually helpful.
