I've got two of them. Over the last thirty years I've used four different progressives and a several conventional single stage presses. I got rid of all that gear and now use the Lee Hand Press exclusively. I only load .38/.357 and .44 handgun ammo. If my cases are clean and deprimed I can load 600 rounds in a day. Lately, I only do 200 rounds at a time because my old arms start to cramp up towards the end of the session. Best of all, my Forster case trimmer, Lil' Dandy powder measure and rotors, 505 scale, two presses, two sets of dies, hand priming tool, brass, bullets, powder and primers, all fit in a standard size gym/duffle bag. I have the case trimmer and the stand for the powder measure screwed to a small wooden cutting board and with a little bubble wrap, everything stacks in very securely. I use this set-up at home, but it also makes the perfect travel loading rig. I can be set up and ready to load in about five minutes in a hotel room or even in a moving car. Another bonus from using one of these presses is the arm and shoulder workout you can get, especially if you run off a few hundred rounds. And when your arms get sore you can even squeeze it between your knees like that exercise rig that Suzanne Sommers used to sell, the ThighMaster. Inexpensive ammunition and a good exercise workout from one machine. It doesn't get any better than that.
