[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 606576, member: 9215"] "I would absolutely not recommend a starter press that is any shorter than a Rock Crusher. " Interesting suggestion; I've been reloading since '65. I now own four presses, have had others and have used various presses of my friends. I've never used nor even heard of a "Rock Crusher" press but I have never tried a press of any model that didn't do very good work. A large press is fine ... if you load large cartridges. Otherwise, it's just longer ram travel for no benefit. Lee's Classic Cast is larger/stronger than most others, it's precisely machined and it's strong enough to crush rocks if that turns you on. ?? I also fully agree with Crow Juice's six point list for new guys, all he suggests will do exactly what he says it will do. It gets amusing when some of us old hands try to get new guys to follow us to what we now use, even if it's NOT what the new guy really needs or may wish to use! :D [/QUOTE]
