Hi all, hoping you could give me some advice on a press purchase.
I just started going to grad school this fall and am living 200 miles away from my main reloading setup. I still go back about once or twice a month but am often too busy to do much reloading. I have a single stage press at my school apartment but I just use it for sizing so I can at least do some case prep.
I am thinking I should get a faster setup so I can produce my established loads while I am at school and use my home setup for test loads.
I am having trouble deciding between a Lee classic turret press and a hornady lock and load progressive.
The Lee is what I use at home and I love it. It would be cheaper by a good bit and is fast enough to meet my needs, and switching calibers is easy.
The hornady would be my first progressive press and would be expensive but between the sale midsouth is running right now and the 500 free bullets it wouldn't be too bad. Having a progressive press might also make the most of my severely limited time.
So what do you all think? Hornady or Lee or something else?
