Here My opinion, Get the Lee Loader. It will be handy for use even after you get a press if perchance you advance that far. They are not that slow if you load in batches, I can come real close to matching someone with a single stage press, but I do use a hand primer for priming. In the end the Lee Loader is very useful to take to the range for load work up down the road. I only wish I could get a Lee Loader in all the calibers I reload for.

As far as the Lee Hand Press I've watched others fumble with one of those, to me its a real joke. Before I'd subject myself to that I'd buy a single stage "C" press and mount it on a piece of sturdy board and buy a couple of "C" clamps.

JMHO Hey the cost was nothing!
