I got the Lyman for that price, I had to deliver it myself but it was a nice 40 mile drive on a sunny afternoon to the store that had it!

PS: Diesel VW, the one that met emissions so fuel use was very low at 2 gallons.

other than color it looks almost identical to the RCBS unit. I think you will love it it if you load a lot of extruded powder rifle loads. While one load is being metered I seat the bullet. Never timed it but I can go through 50 .308 win loads in about 1/2 hour including set up, cal, and storage afterwards. I can be comfortable knowing that those loads are within .1 gr also

The Lyman works well. A bit slow for larger cartridges (308 and up)

I don't change it if it overshoots a tenth but undershoot and I can pull out a few grains from the tube and get it on the set point.

That makes it a 1/10th grain accuracy. More than good enough for me.
