Yup I wholeheartedly agree with everything, everyone has said, along with, it's a VERY Nice,
Very Strong, Very Accurate, Very smooth little press. (I can see Lee Haters heads exploding now)
I am also one that does not de-prime on any of my "loading" presses, Single stage, Turret or Progressive, keep all the crud somewhere else. De-prime, tumble, wet, or buz bucket, put up.
Yes there is a very vocal contingent of Lee Haters in the Handloading community.
The crux of what I have observed in a bit over 50 years of this stuff is that,
1-) Folks bashing Lee have never used, or spent VERY little time using Lee.
2-) Are price &/or status driven. "A $20.00 Powder measure? NO WAY!!! " or
" OMG ?? Your using LEE ? snicker, snicker, snicker "
Well, to each his own but,,, That, little $20 PPM might look & feel like a toy BUT, is actually
been found to be extremely accurate, & repeatable. Can't remember where the article is but,
the little $20.00 PPM was preferred by the testers over the big, major, big $$$ brands.
heck, us long time Lee users could have told them that.
