So I am interested in a 44 caliber free chex 2, for primarily 3 reasons

1. The cost of the tool is only a bit more than a box of checks (not that I would ever buy commercial checks)
2. I don't need many checks because I only really shoot checked boolits out of my contender.
3. I also like the idea of being able to using different thickness checks for different boolit designs.

Does anyone have one and love it, hate it, etc?

I realize that it is slower than the checkmaker and freechex 3, so I'm mostly looking for input that is not related to the speed of the tool.

The FC II works great. I have used one for ages. What I tend to do is leave it set up on my work bench and whenever I walk past I stop and make 10-15 checks. You end up with a pile in no time short.

If you don't use many checks I would suggest you stay with factory.

I love it. I have two of them and use them for calibers I shoot less often. They are pretty foolproof. The speed of making checks is not up to the FC-III standard but does the job very well. The prices is very attractive also. Get in contact with Charlie regarding details of the tool. He's a wealth of knowledge and very willing to share that knowledge. Personally I do not think it is any slower than the Checkmaker™. Happy check making.

I have one and recommend it. The Lee Loader of check making.
