There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Note: one last thing to add. I noticed another reviewer said that removing the dies from the LNL bushings was difficult. The best way to do it is to turn the die/bushing assembly counterclockwise in the press like you are going to change dies. Instead of pulling out the die, put a wrench on the die and twist it loose. The press will hold the bushing and your die will back right out.
It is well worth the money because this press will last a lifetime, it is heavy duty and very rugged
The only thing I don't like on the press is that when the shell holders lock in, they have some vertical play. They locate horizontally fine, which is the important thing. I had RCBS shell holders, but I also bought a hornady one to test its fit, and it was the same.
UPDATE: I complained about the primer catch tray above. I found the key to it working properly is to have the "positive priming system" lever in place, even if you're not using it to prime the sized cases.
Edit: After 4 years and thousands of rounds, time to do an update. All of what was written above still holds true. There have been some failures in the accessories that came with the kit. The first to go was the digital scale. It lasted less than a year and then quit. I went to a RCBS beam scale. The next thing to go was the hand primer. After using the Hornady hand primer for a few hundred rounds I could tell that it would not have a long life, way too much plastic in the inner parts. The Hornady lasted probably 3000 rounds and finally became unusable. Again I turned to a RCBS products the hand primer with the universal shell holder. It was a huge improvement over the Hornady primer system.
