That bench looks great! I would recommend putting some more reinforcements on the lip where the bench will attach. Also, I put various holes in my bench such that I can mount my press to a block of wood and move it around the bench. Many people have used this approach because then you bench can...

Does it matter if a $10 kia can outrun a 512T if the speed limit is still 70mph.. Point being, each press only works as fast as you can pull the handle.... If I can pull it faster than you can, guess what?! My press is faster :) Maybe someday when I have a real job I can entertain the...

I must admit, hearing all the reliability comments associated with Dillon has me very interested. I'm working my way through graduate school now (hence I have the cheapest presses), once I have a real job I may have to look into upgrading... I need to start shooting WAY more if I'm going to...

I tried that on my wife, I'll let you know how it turns out... :fire:

Haha.. Well if price isn't an issue let's build a manufacturing plant, they're much faster :) I'd have to agree with GW Staar, any fully setup progressive press is just as fast as any of the others.. A load master with a case feeder and bullet feeder is just as fast as your video (the...

Depends on your outlook in life... To me, it's dumb as hell to pay $100k for a car that will take you somewhere just as fast/effective as a $10k car... You can't really apply that analogy to reloading. I would bet money a Lee master will run circles around most peoples presses (bullet seating...

The super 1050 is listed as $1,600 on their website. Considering most people start out the hobby to "save money" it doesn't even really make that much sense to spend $500-600 on a press unless your a competition shooter! For the typical shooter, getting a cheap press is more than enough.. I...

As someone who doesn't own a Dillon/RCBS you may find it worthwhile to completely ignore my opinion, but It's hard to justify spending $1,400 on a reloading press that a Lee Press will do for $200. I guess if I had a whole lot more money my opinion would change, but that's where it stands now...

Pro Hunter with Collet Die I have a single shot Thompson Pro Hunter (see pic) and use the Lee Collet neck-sizing die w/o a crimp. In my opinion, you should never have to crimp a rifle round if you prepare the neck adequately (unless you're doing some hardcore chambering). One of the things...

Built from the ground up! I wish I had the space of some of you guys! My wife gave me a 2'x4' area in the garage! Maybe one day when I get a house of my own... one day...

Lee Components I recently (about a year ago) joined the reloading addiction. If you go with a LEE setup (as I did), I strongly suggest ordering your stuff from factorysales.com The place is apparently right across the road from the Lee factory and sales everything LEE makes. In fact, they even...
