I also do not like the breech lock system because it requires you to buy a bushing for each and every die you use.
That is true but defeats the whole reason for having a breach lock system. I would much rather own a Classic Cast SS Lee press. If i didn't already have an RCBS Rockchucker I would buy a Lee Classic Cast SS press. But in the end, we all like different things and that's why these companies make so many presses.just because it has the breech lock feature doesn't mean you have to use it. you can load on the challenger w/ breech lock with just one breech lock bushing.
Neither the Lee Safety Prime nor the Auto-prime involve picking up individual primers.i don't like picking up every individual primer. i like hand priming tools.
Well, think of it as a regular press with a bonus. You can pop your dies out to inspect/clean them, midway through a batch. I've found that useful when lube builds up in a seating die, or when I suspect I might have the wrong seating stem in there.That is true but defeats the whole reason for having a breech lock system.
No, we were discussing the advantages of priming on the ram, not the Ram Prime. The Ram Prime is an add-on for presses that don't have a built in priming system (or a crappy one). The Breechlock has a very nice priming system built in. Just slide the large or small priming arm into the side of the ram, and you're good to go.Neither the Lee Safety Prime nor the Auto-prime involve picking up individual primers.
Are you thinking about the Ram Prime?

Get a Dillon....any Dillon! It's worth it just for the no BS warranty.
Correction, please: The breechlock is not a press. It is a design variant available on the Hand press, Challenger and the Classic single stage presses.(edited for brevity) The Breechlock is not a bad press.
