I am very pleased with my Lee Classic Cast.

Hard to beat a Rockchucker.
You might want to look into a Redding T7 Though.
Assuming you do not load 50cal.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

True. I've had one for 25yrs. It ain't no Dillon though. It is what most should start with though.

I am very pleased with my Lee Classic Cast. That's what I have as well. Can't imagine anything better for a simple SS press.

Bought mine new in 1974 and see no reason to change.

I love RCBS, you can sell a second-hand RCBS and switch to a Classic Cast and come out ahead in money.  Only RCBS press I miss is my Partner press, might buy another as I like small presses for small or lightweight jobs. Cheers... Con

I like my Classic Cast also. It's what I started with, has held up fine, makes concentric ammo. What else would a single stage press need?

I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.

I love my Lee Classic Turret. It has easily removable turrets which allow me to adjust my most regularly used dies, leave them in a turret, and just exchange turrets with dies already set. The four hole turrets will hold two sets of rifle dies or one set of pistol dies. Extra turrets cost about $10. Right now I have more money invested in extra turrets than I do in the press.
