I cant find one anywhere to get my case feeder to adapt to my press. I have a press in the 2000 serial number range. Anyone know where I can pick one up?

MidwayUSA , Grad & Son or Hornady.

eta, see both MidwayUSA and Graf are out of stock. Same deal when I needed one. Back ordered one from Hornady, think I was 2 weeks from phone call to delivery.

See edit, MidwayUSA posts next date Hornady shipment is due. Not date actual product is due. I don't call'em MidwaybackorderUSA because of product availability or correct shipment dates.

One of two pieves I have with Midway.

Hornady does everything in runs. Everything is in Que. Back when 208 A-Max got tight, non existantant, everybody it seemed with a .30 cal barrel was shooting them. I don't know how many times I called Hornady. Their answer. We don't stop production on a run until the machine goes down, then fix and go to next scheduled run. We waited well over 6 months for them.

It's how Hornady does things. Their problem is they're spread thin with equipment manufacturing a wide spread of products. In 2008 Hornady went to 3 shifts rather than gear up more equipment. Equipment costs a fortune to sit idle. This buy-up won't last past November, then supply will be normal again.
