Lee Classic Cast single stage a quick review
« on: April 24, 2012, 09:37:55 PM »
Got one from WGS.  A little more than I can get online but I wanted to support Joe and Henry as they have always been helpful.
The main reason I got this to replace my Rockchucker is the hollow ram. All spent primers go through a tube and into a receptacle. It's not as smooth as my RockChuck but it gets the job done cleaner; maybe it just needs time to break-in. It's cast iron and weighs about 30 lbs.  One thing to keep in mind is that if you want to use the Hornady LnL setup the dies will need to be screwed in longer, this is important when using the shorter Lee dies.  This press is also designed to resize 50 BMG for all you ballahs. Overall, I like it.  I wanted a Hornady LnL AP but WGS is out of stock.  The lever is fully adjustable for length and for lefties or righties.
The only regret was picking this up sooner - when it was first introduced back around 2004 (?) it was about $60 from Midway.
