Help with figuring out which press to buy...

[American Leader]

You're right KR about more complaints about LEE, but just maybe there are more LEE presses out there to gripe about. I've noticed when pics of reloading benches are posted on showing presses even when it mentions Dillion, Hornady, or RCBS, many times there is a LEE in that pic somewhere? No other maker comes close on overall cost, so they may very well sell and have more presses out in operation. But as once stated, they use alot of nylon parts and are not made for those who are like a "bull in a china shop" or don't like to read! The regulars on here know I'm a LEE guy so I had to backup Dixieman a little. Oh, and by the way, Brisk44 say's LD is really a "Closet LEE Guy"!

BTW if anyone is in the market, I have looked at every supply house I could find and Midsouth Shooters Supply had the best price and very resonable shipping. $385 for the press and $17 shipping. The press should be at the house on Friday sometime, as soon as its set up I will post pics!

Well guys I finally got it set up and used it all day today. I have to say I LOVE it!!!! This thing is awesome. It was a pretty simple process to put together and set up. I have already run out of bullets to load that I have the shell plates for. The powder throw gives a consistent throw, the primer system works awesome. So far I have loaded about 150 223, 200 40, and 100 380. If anybody has any questions about this press dont hesitate to ask here or send me a pm.

Nice setup. That is going to be my next purchase also. Just got to save $$$ for it first.

Looking good to me. Nice setup.

I spent a few hours this weekend at my dillon and pushed out 600 rounds of 9mm goodness. You will be asking yourself why did I not start reloading sooner.

Enjoy!

I am having one problem, I cant find a 38/357 shell plate anywhere. I have plenty of 38 bullets but cant load them on the Hornady. Anyone have any suggestions?

thanks 312 never seen that site before

glad you have a setup you like. I have a new pro 1000, being cautious after getting used to it, I got 300 rounds in 2 hours. Not sure I want to go faster than that, but can see where you could. Good luck and be safe, oh and enjoy

New shell plate is on its way so i will see how it does on 357 this weekend. thanks for all the help and comments guys. i have also been going slow just to get a feel for it i know it can go faster but i am comfortable at my pace and dont need mich faster.
