[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1876073, member: 113501"] The Lee Classic Cast press with normal die bushing is inexpensive, nearly indestructible and just works. It might be better than a Rock Chucker. The Summit press gets plenty of good reviews. When they first came out they were really cheap and a good value. Now I think you can get a Rock Chucker cheaper. The MEC Sharpshooter looks very nice. The Redding Ultramag looks good because the linkage bears all the stress, the press body just aligns the ram with the die. I'm partial to "O" style presses. Ideally the die threads will be concentric with the ram and the ram will have minimal play. I have heard that there are several newly released presses that come poorly machined brand new with sloppy rams so try before you buy. Some people like the Forester Co-Ax, I don't get it. Some people like arbor presses which make more sense but the dies are different so it's a step I'm reluctant to make. [/QUOTE]
