Started with the Lyman accu-trim.
18 year old kid, no money it was cheap, used press she'll holders.
Total junk. Untrimmed cases were as consistent as trimmed.

Bought a used Forested. Had to add college and pilots one at
a time. (Its expensive to be poor sometimes)
Great tool, well made. Not a single issue in over 30 sick years.

Acquired a Lyman Universal in a deal.
Ok, not quite as consistent as Forrester, not as well machined.
Works ok, universal shell holders is overblown.
Forrester has one collet that does all my '06 and magnum
cases. I think the 223 also. Had to buy one for the Sweede.

My neighbor has a Redding.
It's Redding, what more to say.
If I had to acquire all new reloading equipment,
And wasn't too $ conscience, it would all be Redding.


Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
