(or shell holders)

Wonder what a Dillon 750 would go for?
 
Hmmm...I have one of those out in my barn, a Lee Turret (older style) and a whole set of the Lee 'slide-in' style shell holders as well as a couple old Lee hand primer tools taking up space. Maybe I can pad out my retirement!
 
They are junk if you ask me. It might work for neck sizing only but the rest is too hard to do.

I just cranked out 500 each of .223 (small base) and 9mm (crimped), just to do it, with this press. I also use it for seating depth adjustments during load workup quite often. It takes up very little room in my range box and has never failed. It got me through a college, a divorce, and two hunting season disasters.

Pretty good for "junk".
 
Hmmm, Ive an old lee aluminum O frame press somewhere. Maybe I can trade it for a new rifle or something similar? We are living in a world gone mad!

If the Lee priming tools are the ones with the round tray, send me a PM.
I am down to just one that still operates.
I bought their new version and it plain sucks.

After using the Redding BB and RCBS RC press, I can see why someone would feel that the Lee hand press is junk. I bought one for a small compact portable press and I feel the same way. I think the Lee press takes time to get use to, plain and simple. I just never put that time into doing it. Still sits on my bench. I'll put that effort into it soon otherwise you'll see it in the classifieds.
 
I have a Lee hand press that I use regularly. Not for sizing or seating though. I do all my depriming with it. It keeps the mess off my other presses It also retains the spent primers inside the ram, so that I don’t have them falling on the floor. It only holds 25 large primers though, so I dump them into an old coffee can every 25 cases.

after using the Lees for a long time, i have been using the rcbs lately and im satisfied with it.
