[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 628908, member: 9215"] Sully 2: "Take a good close look at a Lee presses basic construction and then look at an RCBS...the thickness of materials, the fit of various components..." First, I don't have to guess about the RCBS constuction, I use an RC. That said, RCBS makes more than one press, so does Lee so suggesting a "look at a Lee" press without mentioning THE press is meaningless; I was specifically refering to the Classic Cast which is fully as beefy and larger/more durable than my old RC. Second, so far as absolute quality of a tool goes, it's interesting that anyone should consider absolute "quality" as a meaningful criteria rather than the purpose it will be put to. For instance, American woodworkers often consider the Delta Unisaw as a sufficently high grade table saw. However, European table saws greatly exceed Delta's 'quality' but at a very high price. Still, our wood crafters continue to do excellant work on Unisaws which is, after all, the point of buying tools isn't it? It's also a given that a CoAx is much higher 'quality' press than the RC,so is a Harrel, but they're all far better than is needed for reloading 9mm handgun ammo. Meaning, it's more rational to choose our tools for the task they will perform rather than some subjective 'quality' concept. And Lee's Classic Cast IS a superior tool to my Rock Chucker. [/QUOTE]
