i agree. I buy a press to load ammo not challenge my mechanical abilitys. I doubt a helicopter pilot would want to fly a helicopter that needs in flight repairs and tweaks while in flight. Or an automatic in flight refueling system that jammed up about every 10 minutes like those *** case feeders do. There so bad i took them off and dont even bother with them. Probably a good press if you dont want a case feeder and are willing to prime by hand but who buys a 700 dollar press to do that? If your going to reengineer the thing you might as well start with a loadmaster for half the price. might even be a good press for someone who spends as much time cleaning and polishing it as pulling the handle. Me? I just want to pull the handle and shoot. THANK YOU DILLION. I use my 550s at least 3 times a week. Clean them (just the primer slide) about once a month. Wouldnt even have to do that if a guy wet tumbled. Ill polish and clean my challenger but my press are road hard and put away wet. Only brand ive seen hold up to that is a dillion period end of story. I could go out in the shop right now and load 10 primer tubes and crank out a 1000 rounds without a hitch. Then turn around and do it again tommarow and dont even have to be a helicopter mechanic or a mechanical engineer to do it. Ive had a few locals argue with me about how good there lock and load is. Inevitably i visit them and look at them and they look like they were just taken out of the box and they might have 500 rounds of ammo total in the house. One of them even asked me once for a piece of 223 brass because he lost one and there was an empty space in one of his boxes!! I usually have more ammo in my jeep then they have total.
