[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 748461, member: 25383"] I have two or three Lee priming tools in a cigar box. At least one is broken. In that same box are two RCBS tools as well. For the amount of money invested in that box I could have bought two K&M's and a case of beer. The Lee cast iron press is fairly decient, but has the same issues that 90% of the others have. I bought the Co-Ax in 1978, and right now it's as tight as the day I took it out of the box. And it's done a lot of long strait walled cases that are really hard on presses. Have never seen anything that comes close toit when doing heavy case forming. But I posted the press because I knew that when you started to use it there wouldn't be any issues, and it's very easy to use. Plus they hold their value unlike the others do. Also you don't need to buy any shell holders with the Co-Ax. I mentioned the little Lyman powder measure because of it's value alone. They are very accurate with ball powders, and a good starting point. If you want the best, then buy a Harrell of coourse. But I doubt the OP really has a use for one. I bought my Wilson off Ebay for about $25! Cuts case lips very square, and is simple to use. Just put all the others I had away, and rarely drag one out these days. I did rebuild mine later on and added a few items to it to make it easier on me, but could have lived without them except for the mounting bracket. If you have a drill press, then goto Lowes or Menards and buy a piece of 2"x2" hardwood, and make your own loading blocks. Yes I have the MTM's and RCBS blocks as well, but like the home made ones best. I use Sierra's Infinity loading discs and the samething from Lee. Plus I own a half dozen or more manuals. I could get by with nothing but the AA manuals and Hogdons. But do use the Hornaday a lot more than I used to. I'm probably more frugal than 80% of the posters on these boards gary [/QUOTE]
