I'm sure you guys are sick of this question, but my research has just left me more confused.
I started loading around '95 because ammo for my 10mm was too expensive, so I was pretty limited. Now I'm loading for 10mm, 44 and 308. I'm wanting to add 38/357, 9mm and .243 to the line up as well in the near future. I started with a Lee PPM and don't have much bad to say about it, other than it's starting to leak reloader #7 pretty bad now and it's not a fan of Varget!
So the hunt began, money is tight but I'm not afraid to spend it once and have something I can pass on to my son.
I hear some people that love the Hornandy, and others just hate it.
The Lyman, I don't know, just looks like a pain to get it adjusted?
The RCBS version look good, but not much more money and I can get a Redding #3 that most everyone seems to like and it seems with the universal insert it should cover about anything I'm going to load.
The Harell, it's nice, but I just don't think I can, or need to justify it.
I'm on a single stage press and normally only to batches of 20-50 of any one caliber at a time, but the .357 and 9mm will probably be in larger numbers of probably 100 rds a time.
I'm not badmouthing the PPM, it's been great to me, I'd just like something more durable. So thoughts?
