I have an RCBS Rock Chucker, mostly used for de-capping and pulling bullets now. A Redding T-7, for loading my rifle rounds, and a Dillon 650 for pistol stuff. I would buy any of them again, and would recommend them.
Of the presses, I think almost any will do, but I will only use small ones, like the Lee C press or my small Lyman, for light duties.
Bullet molds. Maybe not the first thing you think of when talking reloading equipment...but I am curious, has anybody else run into current production (last 6 yrs or so) Lyman molds being wonky and casting bullets that don't mike round? I bought 2 different molds and was very disappointed, for almost 3 times the money than a Lee mold you'd expect a very good bullet. I have several old Lyman's that of course, are great. I have inspected, miked, measured, experimented with changing technique...still stumped. I know it's impossible, but it's almost as if the blocks were not bored as a pair or the locating pins were pressed in crooked. Anybody?
Good question.
