Was browsing the web and looking at a sight that featured my .30 benchrest bullet maker. His name is Randy Robinett,and makes handmade match bullets that are called bibbs. Anyway, he is using the lee castiron press for his bullet swaging, because they are so precise, he had 5-6 set up, and he said every one was perfect axially, and consentric. Didne know that you fellers might want to know this. Seems funny that the most accurate bullets man can make,are made on lee presses.

I don't think there is any doubdt that this is the best press Lee has ever made. The funny thing is how Richard Lee critisizes "overbuilt" reloading presses like the C-H Champion in his reloading book, and now is making a cheapend copy of it in the "Classic".

To be fair he didn't design it, his son did. This press is a great value for the money.

Lee certainly seem to have got it really right this time with the Classic Cast, innovative design with the right materials.

Probably buy one this year although I don't, probably [smilie=1:, need another press. :-D
