looking for thoughts on adding one of these three presses to the bench, so this is about press A,B or C so please no D.
Right now I use a 3 station press and need/want a 4th station to add a FCD for my 45acp. At this point I'm just tired of loading these 45acp in my 3 hole press and then having to run them all again thru another press to crimp them.
My budget is $125.00 and these are the choices I'm looking at. The new 2010 model Lee Value turret press, the new one w/o the Red base, $86.00.. The New Lee Breech Lock Pro with a 45acp shellplate, $125.00.. Or I've been seeing a few used old Dillon 450 presses on ebay recently.
Which ever press it is it will most likely be set up and dedicated to just the 45acp to allow using the FCD. The volume for this is only about 1500/2000 round per year depending on how much the wife shoots.
I understand a bare Dillon 450 may be a bit more than the $125.50 I'm looking to spend so I'm trying to understand why I should spend more for a press that really will not do any more than the other two.
