Great press.
I reload for my 30-06, 270, and .223 off of this press and have not had any problems with it at all. It works smooth and was very simple setting everything up.

Great Kit!
I used to hand reload. Now, I'm using the Lee Reloader.
I'm SOLD for life on LEE equipment.
I've been using Lee reloading equipment for several years now & I swear by it. The reloader is simple to use, simple to assemble, simple to clean/maintain & is one sturdy piece of equipment. I have mine mounted on my reloading bench in my shop & I've been using it daily over the past couple of years. I'm an avid shooter so I like to "test" my reloads out at a "wilderness" range so I can perfect my reloads for each caliber. I'll continue to collect my brass after a good day of range shooting... besides, it cuts the cost of recreational shooting significantly. My most important caliber is my .45 though I reload .380, 9mm, 38/357, .40, .45 & a couple of rifle calibers (.25-06, .243). My son in law's now reloading his brass (he used to bring it to me for me to reload...darn it!). Anyway, I'm very confident with my reloads via Lee's equipment. In fact, as I'm writing this I'm tumbling some spent brass for reloading tomorrow morning. Once I get some reloads together I'll be heading back out to the "bubba ranges" here in the great Pacific Northwest, hopefully tomorrow a.m. before the rains hit so I can test those new reloads. I'm sure glad I bought that reloader several years ago. It's one heckuva reliable piece of equipment for me. Before I bought it I reloaded all of my brass the old fashioned way, by hand... one at a time. It took all day to get a comfortable hundred rounds & I could never quite get the right load. So, I bought the reloader kit & quit handloading each piece of brass unless I had to.
Great people to deal with.
Fast shipping even got $30 off the already low price. Missing 1 small part from the factory Brownells stepped right up. Took care of me and earned my repeat business.
Bought as gift
I bought this as a gift for my son who is carrying on the tradition of reloading. Lee makes some of the best reloading products in my opinion and gives someone a great start.
You get what you pay for
I have been interested in reloading for years. I live in a small place and initially was worried about space and almost got Lee's hand press kit or even the hand load kit. Glad I didn't. Perfect size. Looks larger than it is. The press itself is of decent construction,(wish the finish was tougher....like a powder coat....feels like a shoddy spray paint)even though it lacks the heft I wish it had, yet being light makes storage an option. However despite decent reviews web-wide, the accessory kit leaves much to be desired. Yes the "plastic" like items keep sparks from occuring,.....but they're plastic. I just see em breaking. Even in the realm of plastic some pieces are flimsy. I could be wrong, it's still early, and I haven't ran many rounds through her yet. For somebody not sure if reloading will be their thing or not it's a good deal. You can always upgrade. Yet if you know you like it.....go for a RCBS or Hornady as your lower end of the price range option. I could point out a ton of things I dislike, but like the header......you get what you pay for, and for such a cheap price there's gonna be flaws. It's still a decent stepping stone to get into reloading though.
Great starter Kit
I've used this item weekly for a 4 years and had only one problem with it and it had to do with the charging handle and the bracket that the square part goes into. Well the square mold that holds the charging handle broke. I have since crazy glued the mold and placed a hose clamp around the mold that holds the handle's square part.
