[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1568295, member: 2736"] In my opinion, It is only slightly better than other presses because everything has to be right to see an improvement in ammo quality. When I bought mine it was to improve my load quality, with usual loading practices it made little difference. when I started to properly prep my brass and use quality dies I saw an improvement in the consistency of the ammo run out, now I check my brass for concentricity before I load it Now, and It appears to improve ammo concentricity from an occasional .004 to .005 thousandths run out. to a .002 to .003 worst case. With many that don't have any run out. So in my opinion, if you take great care and attention to your reloading it is almost a must. If you just size and load unprepared brass/cases, I don't see the need in spending the $300.00 + dollars. The press can only do as well as you can, it can't automatically solve every problem you might have. Speed is not important to me, only quality. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
