I'm glad your's worked out for you. No one I know has had good luck with them (I have a friend kicking himself in the nuts right now from buying a Lee press that was on a BF sale). From terrible priming systems made of 2 piece molded and burred plastic, to tilting turret heads when the cases wobble their way in, to having to spend time to dremel/fit/smooth/pray to make them work semi decent, Lee is not a press I, nor anyone I know that reloads, reccomends.Wrong.
You can't get a better blend of versatility and speed than the Lee Classic Turret Press. It will load 200 rounds an hour. And you can change to a different caliber, including changing primer size, in about 1 minute, if you're moving slow. Or a minute to convert it from automated to single stage, again, moving slow.
NOTHING else on the market can do that. And it will do 25acp all the way to large, magnum rifle cartridges. And it's well made, really solid. For about 150 bucks.
Yes, some of the Lee presses are fiddly. Very fiddly. The Lee Pro 1000 is such a press.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If we are going to go slow, mainly for PRS rounds, I would reccomend a solid single stage with good tolerances (cheap hornady). If you want to go fast, I reccomend a Dillon 750XL. From the time you save reloading 700+ rounds an hour on a 650/750, you more than compensate for the 3-5 min it takes to swap heads and plates to change calibers vs the 200 rounds an hour (if it runs reliably) with the "1 minute" caliber change.
IMO the only thing worth it from lee is their dies if your trying to ball on a budget. The dies are actually pretty good for range fodder mass reload ammo.
Cartman is an individual thats VERY VERY knowledgable, that has reloaded for years on all types of presses. I'd be willing to bet $20 he has had bad expirence with Lee, and knows plenty of people that had an accelerated midlife crisis from the stress they cause. Hell I can call the guy, and he can tell me what adjustments I need to make without seeing my press lol.
