I have used the little Lee C-Frame aluminum press for a number of years and it has loaded some really accurate ammo. There is not much leverage for full size resizing. As most of my rifle reloads were neck size .223s the press was sufficient.

I finally bought a Lee Classic Cast and this is a really great single stage. Absolutely solid and has good deal of leverage. Will easily handle anything I will ever want to full length size and with far greater ease than the old Lee C-frame I had used.

Comparing the iron Classic Cast to the aluminum C-press is sort of like a Mack Truck to a Ford Ranger.
