Just received my Hornady AP Press, EZ eject last Friday.

Spent the day on Sunday setting it up and getting ready to load 45 ACP.

Installed the suggested #1 new style shellplate that was listed in a link on the Hornady website as the one to work with a number of calibers, including, 45 ACP.

Ran into a problem in that on two of the 5 shellplate inserts the ammo would not eject and had to be removed manually when the ram would bind up on ammo ejection.

Called Hornady and was informed that the #1 shellplate was no longer, recommended for use with 45 ACP. They have a new 45 ACP shellplate which deals with this problem.

I have no problem with the quality of the customer service at Hornady. However, I do have a problem that the shellplate link on their website as recently as Wednesday, January 7th, still listed the #1 shellplate for the 45 ACP and no mention of the 45 ACP shellplate.

Yes, I will buy the 45 ACP shellplate. However, I only wanted the #1 shellplate for the 45 ACP. Poor site mantinance and a waste of $30 bucks and some needless aggravation.

Yes, it is a great press, however!!!
