    I really like your compact, removable setup. Like you, I don't need to reload hundreds of rounds. Thanks for sharing your setup.

    Thank you for the concise plain language video. So many are like 30 minutes long, use jargon, and at the end I still don’t know the basics. Now I might finally try reloading!

    Loaded a ton of rounds on the same press . Just got an RCBS Rock Chucker. Love it. It’s a little easier to use, but nothing wrong with Lee, great value

    Good info, well explained. I use the Lee Turrent but having a 2nd press (single stage) is always easy and less cumbersome

    I like your removable setup. I have a lot of my tools mounted to pieces of shelving board. I just clamped them to the bench and move, remove them and install them as I need them. When you have a small work area, it works out really nicely. Good video

    Ya it was. I'm starting to reload for my lcpmax.380acp . Got my RMR Bullets .355 dia. 95 gr fmj rn , Accurate #2 , CCI 500 primers and brass. Just waiting on my press , just holding up on the dies, don't know if I can use seat die/crimp in 2 separate operations. It doesn’t make sense to be pushing a bullet down at the same time it's getting taper crimped .idk,I'm in learning stage.

    Been reloading now for 8 years, at least 20k rounds mostly pistol all caliber, this is a great press, I just was given a Dillon 550, it’s a big difference but if I was to only have the single press I wouldn’t mind.

    Whether one goes with brand A, B, or C they should never buy a kit as the stuff that is not usable will cost more than just buying the usable stuff that is in the kit. Buy the individual tools and do not be afraid to mix up the brands, as no one brand has the best of every thing. Start with at least two reloading manuals, preferably Lyman's and Hornady's and if one has enough money then get the Lee's one too, for three. Then while studying up on the process one can look over different tools available and make up their mind which style of reloading they will want to go down. No matter what one does decide a decent O frame press will always be handy through out their reloading career. Also before just buying up a lot of one bullet and powder they can check all the load data between the three manuals and find a powder that will work across many a different bullets, so that they can experiment which bullet they may end up using, without having left over powder on the shell that may never get used for any thing ever again. Also get primers whenever the opportunity strikes.

    Good video TU. For a beginner this seems the best way to go but I think that's a mistake in a long run. for around 250 and sometimes under, you can get a prograsive that includes everything including die set.powder feeder, primer feeder, etc. the advantage is not just speed but you will not need to upgrade if you start shooting and reloading more.

    I don’t think the directions Lee gives are easy at all! I’ve been puzzling over them for days. My Lee Breech Lock Reloader Press (just like yours) came with something called a Lee Smart Lock Bushing. I’ll be blamed if I can figure out what it is for. The full length resizing die has adjustments on top, which I don’t have a clue are for. The die threads into that weird looking dohickey on top of the press ok, but I’m not sure how far down it goes. Until it touches the shell holder I think. I’m trying to reload for .357, using Lee dies. I haven’t blown anything up yet, so guess I’ll figure things out.

    Lee makes a 338 lapua die, so I would say yes pending there is no clearance issue with this press and length of lapua round.

    I have the same press as you but probably an older version. I'm thinking about getting the powder measurer like yours. Yours looks like it has a glass reservoir an the new ones are plastic with a lot of complaints about static electricity and throwing non consistent charges, so idk. I'm using the balance beam type now from the 70's but it's so slow.@@randomreviews7574

    I planned on buying the three exact components but the four die set. In .380acp, Can I use the Bullet Seating Die/ Crimping Die into different operations??? Seat then back off seating function ant set for crimp only?? Because I want to save money and just get the three seat die but the four-seat die has that crimping feature that separate. Can we do the separate crimping with the seating die as well as long as we back it off is I seen in some videos. Thanks for sharing and sorry for all the questions

    sorry i am not much help with crimping. I only re load a few rifle calibers which typically do not need crimping.
