Press review

[TonyD]

I received my LEE reloader press. This is their cheapest. $20 and it comes with their Modern Reloading manual. There is a definate reason it's so cheap, because it's, well, cheap.

However, I got it because I had a specific function in mind for it and because it is cheap.

I do all of my reloading on a RCBS 4X4 Auto. That thing is a honkin' piece of steel! Great press but it's progressive. I use it as a single stage. RCBS doesn't even make this press anymore. It will be great if I ever start reloading pistol rounds.

Anyway, the swager die will not work in a progressive. So, I picked up the LEE and it's now dedicated to decapping and swaging. It seems to be perfect for the job with very little investment.

I'd still like to find a Rockchucker cheap and save the 4X4 for pistol.

Try eBay, I saw some there that may go for a reasonable price. Search both rockchucker and rock chucker. I saw them both ways.

I know I love mine.

It's not that big of deal, I don't NEED one at the moment. I'm just saying that IF I happen across one cheap I'll be picking it up.

I saw some that were about $65. Of course, they'll probably go up before the end.

They're less than $100 new. Every once in while you can come across one for $40 or $50.
