Hey folks.
I was trainined as a classic tool maker in the 70's before we had CNC equipment. I'm likely one of the last people trained to pour babbit bearings in this part of the country. I like precision tools.
A couple of weeks ago I received two single stage presses which had been through a fire at gun shop. One is a venerable RCBS Rock Crusher, the other a Lee Classic.
I"ll admit that I scoffed at the Lee as a cheap press. I'm posting this because I've changed my mind. The photos show the condition of the press when received and ready to go back to work.
I have a Dillion 650, Redding T7, RSBC Reloader Special, and a Rock Crusher. For most duties, the Lee Classic is every bit the press as any of the others. If you need more proof, both presses were set up with shell holders for the ammo shown melted onto the Lee...348 Winchester.
