There is no bushing fo ! Has anyone heard of Rube Goldberg ? Supposedly he was an engineer that designed machines with as many parts as possible to do the most simple of jobs . That's what bushings do for a single stage press , just a gimmick to sell more stuff . If a man doesn't have enough energy to unscrew a die and screw it back in at some point , he ought to just lay down and die ! Obviously if breathing weren't an involuntary reflex he'd suffocate anyway !

Oldsap, you have a beautiful way of expressing the obvious!
It takes what, maybe 45 seconds to swap out screwed-in dies? So even if "quick change" die bushings were free and instantaneous they wouldn't be worth much for saving less than two minutes of time per reloading session.
I like Lee's priming Classic Cast system. My liking it don't make it good, so that don't amount to much, just a personal taste sorta thing I suppose. People do have different tastes, otherwise no one would buy anything made by Gov'mint Motors. ??

"Get a happy life you two..." Okay...
Does being amused count?
Does being amused count? Using the MidwayUSA site, the lowest priced SS press that would accept the Hornady bushings is the Lee Classic Cast at $85. The next one is $132 (55% more) in the Hornady LnL Classic, which comes with three adapters and one bushing. If intending to avoid the Lee priming system, it looks like the Hornady unit should be under consideration.
