Looking for Loading press

I believe the biggest difference between the most expensive and least expensive single stage press is only in over all finish. Seem's other than that every one of them have the group of people that love and/or hate them! I started with an RCBS Jr many years ago and bought into the spend more get more mentality so stepped up to a Rockchucker. Nothing about my ammo changed. Of course I suppose if you were going to be doing heavy case forming, it might make a difference. On my Jr years ago I made a lot of 243 cases from 308 case's in one operation. Same with 25-06 cases from 30-06 case's. I'm not sure what heavy sizing means! About Lee press's I hear as much good as bad and it's Lee that get's the most negative responses, seem's they are simply to inexpensive to be good press's but somehow for many they work well for years! I like my RCBS tools! I could live with any other including Lee!

I think any press you get, O frame, will do pretty much all you want it to. I started with an RCBS Jr about 1987 or so. Have had RCBS ever since, now a Rockchucker. With me I just like RCBS but in my mind their press is no better or worse than any other single stage press, personnal thing as I said. I've also used Lee single stage and Pacific C frame and both did all I asked! I have a Ponsness warren 16ga press and a Mec jr in 28ga. They both turn out useable ammo but hands down the best shotgun press I ever had was a Texan, nothing compared to it! I understand the guy that made them died long ago and when he did Texan press's became a thing of the past. For rifle and handgun dies, I have mostly RCBS, Go figure. But I don't believe there is a bad set made, they all do what they are supposed to do it's just that some are finished better than other's. My favorite for looking at are my Forester but my old Herter's and Lee dies do the same job just as well. Got a set of Lyman for a 243 a couple years ago and not the first complaint!
