[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 363749, member: 9215"] "The statement was that the Lee was way better at this than the others. And I guess out of the box. " I believe that to be true, regardless of price. Equipment snobs tend to have a "knee jerk" reaction to all things Lee, not costly enough to even be considered usable by them. People who actually know what they're talking about are aware that Lee's designs are made to be machined on modern CNC equipment that's quite precise. And the all cast steel Classic Cast press may well be the strongest common press on the market even tho it's the least expensive of its type - of course. Not said here but the frequent web comparisions of Lee's "pot metal" (alum alloy) presses against other's massive cast iron presses are silly, they are different and are produced for different markets! But, if alum alloy is "pot metal", so are our scope tubes, many shotgun and handgun frames, aircraft and missiles, fishing boats and motors, pistons and crankcases for many auto engines, etc. And some other lines of less costly presses as well , such as RCBS' "Partner", "RS-5", Hornady's "LnL", etc., but the caustic comments are always aimed at Lee, who happily just keeps on chugging along! :D [/QUOTE]
