RELOADING PRESS!!
We all have them. I venture most are like me and have had many.
I have always like the Rock Chucker and I admit that I have swayed and later returned a few times.
I also still own my very first reloading press. It was My fathers Spartan and I also have a representative "copy" of the first press that I learned upon.( The Lyman JR).
I have about a dozen under the benches and like atributes of all of them.
I have a good friend who has suggested (a few times) that I should sell off all those presses not using, that are under the bench and buy a Area 419. (1300$ retail!!!) This is because he views it as the best. Maybe because its so expensive? I dont know, I have considered it, but know big $$ do not ensure the best, and just as buying a "new" part doesn't always correct a problem. Does it produce better ammunition?
But... I do have a desire for the MEC Marksman.
This press impresses me.
I have wanted a T-Mag for years. I settled for a Lyman American 8 and since rebuild I do really like it. Its on a bench and in use now.
I have had a Foster Co-axe back before they had a universal case holder. I liked it but...
I have had a Redding big Boss. I didnt like those flat rails they inhibited hand seating bullets and like.
I have a Frankfort M Press that I like (since re build) Its in use now.
I also have a RCBS Summitt thats a beast. (But I did break it!) Its a nice compact press.
I also have a RCBS Ammo Master, that I plum wore out! FIRST time RCBS hasn't stepped up to repair...
(Did I mention, I really want a MEC)!
SO, Id like to know your opinions.
What is your favorite.
What is one you would like to try?
