Also, as a comment on the person who reviewed it piece by piece. This person has a lot to learn about handloading. The primer feeds rarely malfunction and usually it's because I'm almost out of primers in the feed slot. I believe they are the best primer feeds aside from ones that are for the very pricey progressive presses. Placing the primers by hand is very slow and impractical. If set up correctly these feeds work very well.
The case trimming/maintenance tools are the best and cheapest for what they are. No need to buy a 75 dollar trimmer when this one is just as quick. You will however have to buy the Lee case gauge for the caliber you are loading to use these tools as they are designed. A lee zip trim is also a good cheap addition. When you reload rifle rounds you have to make it a two step process so you will use these tools after depriming and resizing. You won't be taking the case out half way through as this reviewer suggested. As I said you deprime and resize all the brass at once in one session. Disable the auto index and this step goes quickly. After all the brass is resized and deprimed you put the case in the shell holder that came with the case gauge you bought extra and trim the brass that needs it. A zip trim or battery drill speeds the process. After you trim, debur and clean the primer pockets with the tools included in this kit you are ready for step two.
Engage the auto index again and prime, charge, seat the bullet and crimp(optional). Put your finished round in a box and repeat.
You can waste money on more expensive brands but until you are ready for or need the increased output of a progressive press then this is the best way to spend your money. Read all you can about handloading and practice before you spread the word that more expensive brands that probably won't make the process faster, easier or more enjoyable would be better.
Lee equipment may not be as fancy as some of the other brands, but they are priced well and do work reliably.
My only complaint is the scale. Mine seemed to be off/out of calibration out of the box. I am not too concerned, as I have a digital scale, but I will be following up with the manufacturer.
Update. I still do not like the scale, and since I have digital scales, I never bothered following up with Lee. I now reload 6 different calibers on this press: 30 M1 Carbine, .223, .308, 8x57JS, 30-06, 44 Magnum, 45 ACP. Caliber changes are fast. Pick up extra 4 hole turret disks to make the caliber changes even faster. I've gotten two other people started in reloading by showing them how easy it is on this press.
Do note that the Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure does NOT come with the double disk kit, which is a worthy purchase. If you plan on reloading large rifle calibers, bigger than .223, or anything that generally needs more than 25 grains of powder, you are going to need an off press powder measure.
The included book is pretty good. The charts, tables and load data in the back are the most useful.
The press is sturdy heavy duty. Will last many years and than some. It can be used as a auto torrents press or a single stage and converts in seconds.
The safety Prime device is just cheap plastic but makes it much easier to prime than by hand
The powder measurer is awesome. Consistently puts in the designated amount of power. You can buy extra drums for it. Just set the desired amount for the caliber you are loading and start reloading. If you want to switch calibers just remove the drum and put in the next one.
The powder scale is ok. Kind of hard to read if you are in low light conditions. I bought a digital scale to verify that I had it set up correct. It seemed to actually be more accurate than the scale I Purchased.
I was told I needed to get a fancy reloading book. The one that comes in this set is perfect. So far I have yet to find a load that is not in this book.

Empfehlenswert.
Pues bien, la prensa viene con su certificado de homologacion y numero de serie expedido por la armeria que suministra este producto a Amazon.
Lo sigueinte es que amazon te incluya en la factura el numero de serie de la prensa ya que tambien te lo van a pedir.
Eso hay que hacerlo a posteriori, una vez recibido el articulo ya que hay que abrir la caja para poder verlo.
Por lo demas el kit es completo, la prensa es una buena opcion a la monoestacion y la construccion es solida.
El dispensador correcto.
Trae el libro de recarga moderna (en ingles) y la blanza de precision analogica.
