Reloading press
tstuart34:
BigRed I forgot to ask what you are reloading? 4 or 500 rounds a month is a lot of time sitting at the reloading bench. How much time do you want to spend reloading each month?
bkoenig:
I'm a weirdo. I have one Dillon and one Lee press. I try to hit both ends of the spectrum. :)
BigRed:
tstewart34, I will reload mostly 9mm. I will also use the press for .223-5.56, 22-250, 30-30, 44 mag and 45-70.

For the point of education: Aluminum is strong enough...but not worth the few bucks saved over a better/heavier press. Since the press is the main tool....no use in going too cheap...you get the money back in reloading savings. Dies are generally the same size thread (with few exceptions) and can interchange between presses if you do your homework. 7/8"-14 thread are pretty common. However the die sets can vary in what they do, so a little planning can be involved.
