I really like mine.
I really like mine.
I have an older Spar-T that I use mainly for .38/.357 preliminary work. Carbide sizer, two expander/bellers (one for .38., one for .357), and then storage on the other stations. Tumble, size, x/b, then move to the RCBS auto primer, and so on to the Rock Chucker. Prosaic use of the Spar-T, but - works for me.

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
I have one with three heads.
I load for many revolvers and a few rifle and have never had a hitch .
I run 338 win mag,30-06,45-70,500 Cyrus and 45-120 .
I do not know if the primer is a pain I have nevr used it .
I use a hand primer for all applications .
It is a very good press over all .

i have the rcbs turret. i use it to size my rifle cases before trimming, then they go into the dillon. i have not noticed run out issues. my woa service rifles get <1/2 moa when using the 10 power scope benched. wish i could do that with irons and offhand.
I had a short and negative experience with one of these. It doesn't mean that all of them produced are not good and I'm sure that many users are very happy with them. I bought it new and the turret would not index precisely or completely in any of the stations. The shell being worked had to pull the turret and die back into alignment to get the job done. I sent the turret back to Lyman and they sent me a new one. Same thing. I swapped it of/away at a gun show. Subsequently I bought a Redding T(yranosaurus Rex )-7 which is solidly built and precise monster with more stations, a better priming setup and good primer disposal system. It and the Lee single stage and/or turret press are superior in quality and strength. The engineering and workmanship are certainly worth the extra dollars LLS
