I didn't want to have a dedicated bench or room to do reloading and I wasn't planning on doing thousands of rounds. This hand press works great, I can use it while sitting in a chair watching TV or at the table, I can also take it in a large ammo box where I keep it stored if I want to load somewhere else. I suggest getting a bunch of the quick lock bushings so you can have one on each die. I have de-primed (de-capped),re-sized, primed, seated bullets and factory crimped with this hand press.

Bought this after watching you tube video on "decapping" spent ammo where it was demonstrated.Had previously ordered rockford arsenal depriming tool from cheaper than dirt but sent it back after seeing it was made in china and had lots of plastic components.I use a Dillon 650 to reload 357 and the machine was malfunctioning too often due to spent primer debris gumming up the 1st station .Purchased this from Optics planet along with Lee depriming die and 38/357 shell holder,the order was slightly delayed due to one of the items being temporarily out of stock so I used the opportunity to call them and ad a Lee primer pocket cleaner to the existing order to take advantage of the free shipping,not only did they ad the item to the order the nice lady lowered the total cost to just over 50 bucks(less than original order)for the delay.What a great place to buy from,tool works great,very happy.Also this tool is totally expandable and can be used to reload most any caliber with proper attachments.

I really love this product although I do not have a bench or progressive press. Did not want to start with the 150/500 dollar option so I got one of these. You will still be spending a bunch of money on brass prep, powder scale, dies for each caliber, and the ammo materials. I believe I will start saving money after a year or two of shooting, but it is very satisfying to make your own ammo.

I struggled with learning to use large loading presses–which die was which? was I going to do something to blow off my hand? was I using the automatic dispensers correctly? I even took an NRA-approved loading course. I have two other presses sitting downstairs: a Lee standard "bench" loading press and a Lee "turret" loading press. There was just something about the loading process that I couldn't get straight in my mind, at least in relation to the presses. I knew "intellectually" what the process was, but I just couldn't visualize it, and that made me nervous.I happened by chance to learn that the hand presses still existed. I saw a used one for sale, and out of curiosity I looked it up on the 'net. Sure enough, good ol' Lee: They still make them. And, boy, am I glad that they do. This press has completely solved the problem. After I don't know how many years of fretting, I finally can load whatever I want whenever I want. With confidence–maybe that's the most important thing. There is no way you can fail to understand the loading process, concretely, using a hand press. And that builds confidence. I use the Lee hand device for primers (whatever it's called), and, if I can, I use the "scoop" method for loading powder (although I double-check weights on my scale–which is now electronic–another purchase I made to feel more confident).I collect pre-WWII hunting rifles. As I've grown older and can do a lot less big game hunting, I've gotten interested in cartridges and ballistics, especially the cartridges and loads that were used by my father and grandfather and their generations. That means I experiment with loads a good bit. On the other hand, I don't need many cartridges. I don't shoot the rifles much otherwise in order to keep them in the great shape most of them are already in. So loading is good for me as well because I can load the lowest safe load for a given rifle. I want my sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews, and their kids, to be able to feel what it's like to shoot (or even hunt with) a custom Mauser or a fine Mannlicher Schonauer, while at the same time ensuring the guns experience as little wear as possible.Okay, sorry to go on, but the point of this is the hand press is great for me because of my "selective" loading of only, say, 50 cartridges at a time. I've even started loading at the range like the "pros." So if you load more than that, the hand press probably isn't for you. By the way, I do load for handguns on the order of about 100 or, occasionally, 150 at a time, and that's fine. That doesn't bother me, but it may bother you.

Wanted to try reloading inexpensively. This worked perfectly. Used Lee's dies and I have made several hundred rounds with this hand press and couldn't be happier. Not the quickest way to do reloads but definately the cheapest way to go.

This is a good, portable handheld press. I use it at the range for sizing muzzleloading bullets.
