I reload on a Hornady single stage press. I also have a MEC 600 that I really enjoy loading and shooting shotshell. Any thoughts presses?
You have a good start equipment, and enjoy it.
Presses:
Determine you needs, the amount of shooting, the type of shooting, where you want to go
down the road.
honestly your gonna get, all the lines this one works, get that, get this. Simple get what works for you, in your
budget. You can always upgrade, addon, expand. Find some one that will let you "try before you buy" the other
presses.
Started on Rock Chuckers in the 70's still use them to this day, then to Pacific (Hornady) Pro 7, Projector(s), CH
Auto Champs for pistol, Hornady LNL-AP, Dillon 550, 650. Redding Big Boss II, Stars, MECS, P&W and the list
goes on. The Stars are my go to Pistol presses, bar none. The LNL-AP, Projectors, Dillons all reload, all produce
a finished round. They need tweaks, fine tuning, etc. Once again they all work.? You will also hear the "save time"
"quicker", "faster".... then the numbers being reloaded, never in over 50+ years of reloading "it's about numbers /
time." Not to piss people off, what you shoot and the amount you shoot is "your choice" I love taking the NFA toys
out, reloading not so much, but that's my choice.
Once again I don't care what color it is, who makes it, it's what works for me. I won't comment on Lee Products, as
the only thing I currently own is a LEE APP Just .50 worth (adjusted for inflation)
Note: clean your brass before you start, your presses will appreciate it and save a lot of ^$%^^&$&%
I use the LEE APP to deprime my brass, best investment so far. Recommended by some members here and
on another forum.
Back on subject
Presses:
Single stage: Forester Co-Ax, RCBS Rock Chuckers, Redding Big Boss II
Progressive: Hornady LNL-AP, Dillon 550. Remember the cost involved with Dillons "Tool heads vs. Hornady Bushings
Shotgun: P&W Spolar, 900's, 800's, MEC 650's, Grabbers
Now you can get higher end single stage presses, progressives, etc.
