If you get hangups pull the sleeve back and make sure the base that touches the primer face is tight to the shaft.... it may be for depth adjustment but the only thing I had to figure out.
Depends on the person. Me, personally, I could care less about cost per round. I was taught to reload before I got my first center fire and think of it as an enjoyable hobby outside of the shooting. I know, that won’t make sense to a lot of folks, and they will want to argue about it
Last, but not the least, it has become for many of us, an enjoyable hobby and a pastime. As with most hobbies, the priority of saving money can be lost due to the enjoyment we get from it.
Well, like many of you I have spent good money on things I didn't really need, or things that didn't pan out the way I thought they would. OTOH, I've purchased things I had been noodling around with the idea of for years...and when I finally "bit" felt like kicking myself in the hiney for not buying earlier. So that's the whole reason for this thread...unbiased reviews by guys who actually use these things every day and can cut through the sponsored videos (you know those YT guys are getting freebies for positive reviews)Exactly why this line preceded the line you quoted.
My post was more about the reviewing of reloading equipment and the relative cost of it, kinda the just of this thread........and not just the cost of said equipment, but the value of it when reloading. Whether a piece of equipment is really worth the cost, or just a lot of advertising hype, can, and should be, a factor for purchase. Having motorcycles and ATVs/UTVs, and being a hunter and a fisher, I can relate to spending much more than necessary on my hobbies.

No argument from me...This thread should be a sticky.
We should start a 'Not all it's cracked up to be' thread... of stuff that you bought and hasn't lived up to the hype.
Will the Lee 4-tube bullet feeder die fit/work in it's place? Mine works flawlessly and the 4 tubes hold roughly 25-30 bullets each so can drop 100 (or close to) without refilling. Just a thought.I think if I had just given the $20 to a crackhead for more drugs, we both would have been better off, than wasting my time and money on one of these.

I have a lot of Lee stuff that works but this one was a swing and a miss.
It works great for about 8 minutes then you need to take it apart and boil the fingers to "reset" them for another 8 minutes of fun before it starts spitting bullets everywhere again.

When you are trying to help production numbers and have to go to zero to boil your reloading parts, you have time to really study the saying, "a watched pot never boils."...
The design they copied worked but it was two metal fingers that had adjustable tension and cost a lot more.

Different animal. The older Lee tried to feed bullets and seat them at the same stationWill the Lee 4-tube bullet feeder die fit/work in it's place? Mine works flawlessly and the 4 tubes hold roughly 25-30 bullets each so can drop 100 (or close to) without refilling. Just a thought.
