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.

thanks everyone you have been very helpful... the more I read about it the more fun it seems. Eventually I plan to reload for .223, .6.8spc and would like to produce those in larger quanities but also the .270 Win, .30-30 Win and finally the .30-06 .

Im gonna start with one, probably the .270 win and then the .30-30 wingradually add more on in time...

270 and 30/06 are both great places to start. There can be a few "quirks" to loading the 30/30. The /06 and 270 are both very easy to get along with and nothing is more versatile than the /06.:)
