RE: Selecting a Press
Briman, I'm a big RCBS fan but let me say this about Lee products. First, I've got a few sets of Lee dies and some of his more specialized gadgets. All of them work pretty good. Some of Lee's accessories are almost genius and a few I never load anything without using.
I for one think Lee products are good and worth the money. The only criticism I can offer against his presses is their strength. Many of his presses are pretty light in every department...which is not to say a guy can't build good ammunition on them and live happily ever after.
Lee is good stuff. Not many knowledgable reloaders blow them off as junk. They work.
