Are the products from Redding good stuff?
I noticed that some if not all are made of cast iron instead of Alloy like my Loadmaster.

Harrell's Precision Compact Loading Press
Our Reloading Presses are precision machined from solid 6061 aluminum stock and come in 3 sizes to suit your needs.
The PPC size will resize the PPC, BR and shorter cases.
The 308 size will resize the 308 or shorter cases.
The Mag size will resize up to 2.9" cases and seat bullets. They all use standard RCBS type shell holders.
PRICE $160
My Dillon 550 is alum. alloy. As large as it is, the average person could not lift it, if it was cast iron?? The ram, lever, and all pins are steel, and fitted correctly, for no free play, and it works well."Aluminum alloy has traditionally been used by the major reloading equipment manufactures for light duty equipment built for low price-point sales."
I have no experience with Dillon's expensive progressive presses. Are they cast iron?
I know Lee's Classic Turret has a cast steel body and a milled alum alloy turret design.
T-7 looks great but is $240. I can get Loadmaster for that much with dies, powder measure, and progressive advance. So my fancy dies still go on Lee single stage.
