    You'd think he'd have one by now. "IF" he ordered the 8-9th it would be on his door step by wed.
    Grafs has the 650's in stock with the 45 caliber conversion. Operators are standing by.

    I read somewhere (on the internet) that Lee is better quality so I think I will go with 2 pro 1k's instead of a Dillon.

    I just picked up a Lee classic from cabelas lone tree Friday.

    Sent from a device smart enough to send a man to the moon if the battery could last the trip.

    Funny

    Why all the hate on Lee?

    Works great for what I need. When I grow up I'll get a Dillon.

    Here, I'll make it so tempting, you can't refuse: http://www.titanreloading.com/presse...c-turret-press

    Price: $89.79 + $19.96 UPS Ground or $35.96 UPS 3 Day Select or $92.41 Overnight. Currently in-stock too!

    Buy it.... you know you wanna...

    eta: For the record, I have a Lee Classic Cast Breech Lock press and love it. Yes, its a little slow for pistol rounds, I crank out about 100/hr from already cleaned/primed/sized brass, but I tend to have time on my hands so it doesn't bother me. It's great for rifle too. The Breech Lock system is wonderful, set the dies in the Lock Ring Eliminators and changing them out is a 1 handed operation, and less than 5 seconds. Probably just as easy as a turret lol.

    I really like my Dillon 550. I still have a Lee Pro 1000 mounted on a board to make it easy to clamp to a bench or table. I've been meaning to take some pics and put it up on the board to see if anyone would like to buy it. I'm thinking $100 for the whole thing and it includes the shell plate/carriers for both .40 S&W and .38/.357. All you would need are the dies.

    I don't hate, I have been using a Lee breech lock and all Lee accessories. I don't load the volume some do but I am sure I have +/- 10k pistol rounds on it. Just finished 500 gap rounds. Slow and steady! I had the cheap Lee SS before this one I used for 308/233/9/40. No problems with that one either. I don't expect $600 quality out of a $100 press, but it always done what it needs to.

    Exactly my experience too, I can't churn out hundreds of rounds per hour like a progressive, but its solidly built and will serve me a long time! I've heard very mixed things about the Lee Pro 1ks though.

    I seen the pro 1k complaints also, then I read hundreds of good reviews from customers at online places like cabelas, BP etc and some forums. Its cheaper then a Dillon or Hornady and I'm sure its not the same quality either, but evidently they work because places like cabela and sportsmans wouldn't keep selling them if everyone brought them back.

    I like Lee stuff. For the money their dies are hard to beat unless you are a bench rest shooter.

    https://fsreloading.com/

    and

    http://www.titanreloading.com/

    Normally have things in stock at much better prices than anywhere else.

    Dillon makes great presses and I will probably use my 550 till it gets passed on to one of my kids along with my Lee Classic Breech lock single stage. Whichever tool gets the job done for you is the right tool for the job.

    Also, if you are interested in mounts or press accessories, I will put a plug in for http://inlinefabrication.com/ Dan runs a tight little shop and is always looking for new and innovative ways to improve mounts, lighting for a number of different presses. I have one of his Ultramounts and skylights for my 550 and they make a huge difference. His newer mounting system with the swappable base plates aren't like anything I've seen anywhere else. If you email him, he will get back to you. If you want something special, he will work with you. I highly recommend him.
