[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1568393, member: 83267"] I just picked one up a couple months ago. I like the primer catching system for sure compared to my old RCBS Turret press, very fast die changes, very precise but slow priming. I do use it for my large rifle primer rounds that I don't shoot a lot of but I'm still priming 223 on the RCBS. I can't really say I think runout is any less. I sized around 400 .223 rounds in 30min the other day never dropped a single primer. If you set it up in a way to flip sized cases out of the way into a container below it can be very fast to resize. After using it for a couple months I've ran around 2500 rounds thru it in preparation for a upcoming prairie dog hunt. I do like it quite a bit. I wouldn't say it's the be all end all press but if you don't mind spending the money it's got some nice features. I would buy it again. I may pick up a second one just so I don't have to swap the shell holding clamp jaws around from 223 to 308 sizes not that it's that big of deal only takes a minute or two but I'm lazy. [/QUOTE]
