Reloading Press

MakarovFan · April 4, 2007, 04:51 PM

I currently have a press that I seem to no longer to be able to get shell holders for. I currently load 38/357 with this press.

I am looking for a single stage press as this is what i currently have and seems to fit my needs.

My question is likes or dislikes on brands, Lee, RCBS Hornady. I probally will only be using it for 9mm and if I start shooting the 45 more - than that caliper also.

1. There are adapters to put into your press so that you can use new style shellholders.

2. All kinds of old style shellholders are on eBay.

3. I have a fairly old RCBS Rockchucker and a Lee Challenger. The Rockchucker is a great press, but is not so great at catching primers. Neither is the Lee. I hear the Lee Classic Cast with the primer tube coming from the bottom of the ram is super solid and catches all the primers. That's probably what I'd get if I were getting a new one right now.
