I seem to remember the RC supreme coming in around $180 Lee Single C was like $27 Breech Lock Challenger was $59 or so? Lee Classic Cast? Lee Turret? RCBS Partner? Others? Lee dies were like $30 or just under Hornady's were around $40 I think? RCBS were in the $35ish range? Last edited by Spring1898; 02/12/22.

I remember the Classic Cast press being one supposedly one of the best deals for a HD press, and a $117.99 price tag, hard to beat that mass iron at that price. I think it is almost $200 now? Panic plus inflation, I don't know that prices will come down quite that low again.
