Try to get one with the new quick change bushing on it.
It might save you some setup time.

Waaayyyy to expensive. You can probably find the reloader you want to buy online and have it shipped for less then Cabella' would sell.

Midway USA has them for $27.49. + shipping. If you are going directly to Cabella's it would be cheaper. You might find them cheaper, but shipping will eat up whatever you might save.

I have a Cabella's store right on my way home from the airport. It is usually a good time to take a break from driving.

Shipping is a big deal breaker for me, I drive right past Cabella's every time I fly out for work. Some things are rather spendy there but most of what I am looking for. They didn't have the Reloader press that I could look at, so I decided on the Challenger press. It will be a little more versatile in my set up. I still was to see a Reloader press.

I am thinking of adding a press to my line to be dedicated to decapping or bullet seating, not resizing or any heavy duty work. Does anyone have experience with the Lee Reloader Press? And if so is it worth buying for these purposes?

I got one. Works a treat on .308W and 300mag, for decap/neck size, ram-prime and seat. No issues so far. Ammo comes out with zero runout. Takes up no room too. FL size is always better with an O-press but if you use carbide dies I don't see a problem with this little press. I neck size only on my rifle stuff FWIW so I aint killing it....

If it busts LEE makes it right in my experiece. Never broke any of their stuff but I had a flare/fill die I wasn't happy with and they sent me a new one w/o asking for the old one back! Razz
