[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 737453, member: 9215"] "Are there better options for the money? " I certainly think so. First, the RC is okay but, trust me, it's not magic and has no advantage over any other iron press of it's type; it they look alike, they will work alike. Lee's Classic Cast single stage press is just as big, just as strong, perhaps more precisely machined and has much better user features. If it had been made when I got my RC my main press would be red. Digital scales/digital powder dumpsters --- I suppose those who have liminted mechanical skills are just as well served with them as anything else but they cost a lot and and they rarely last very long - unless you think two years is a long time!
