Default RE: Selecting a Press

Here's a good and fairly technical review of the Lee Turret press.

I wouldn't be such a cheerleader for this press unless I thought it was just plain incredible. These things cost under $100 and are better than any similar product made by RCBS, Redding, or Lyman at many times the price. If these were designed by someone else and had a green or orange paint job, they would be selling these for $300 and would probably selling nearly as many as LEE is. Unfortunately LEE has a reputation of making cheap products, a few of which are poorly executed which makes people shun the company. I personally never had much of a positive view of LEE equipment until I started using Lee dies for obscure calibers that would cost me $100 or more to buy tools from RCBS for. Ther classic turret press might be by far their best design and implementation of a product yet.
