I have been looking at this press for a while now. I know it is relatively new but do any of you guys have one? If so, is it worth the money?

It depends on your expectations.
The press is undergoing tweaks to address problems with the primer punch getting stuck and the primer feed system. I have new parts to install but have had things happen, so I have not got the changes evaluated.
If you like to tinker and are mechanically inclined, go for it. If you want a press that will produce ammunition within a couple of hours of getting set up, get a Dillon.
I would not recommend it as your only progressive press if you need reliable production. If you can wait a week for spare parts, or invest in spare parts, you might be OK.
I would get at least one spare primer shuttle, primer shuttle spring, and clutch disk at the minimum for spares.
Good luck!

I bought the .38/.357 kit, it comes with just about everything you need to start reloading. If you plan to load Rifle cartridges, you will need to get the extended powder drop die separately.
Dverna is right about the press being revised. Mine seems to not be one of the early ones mentioned.
The press offers a lot of features for the money.
These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.
A reloader on another forum is sharing their eperience with the Lee 6-Pack press.
