    Who needs it?

    It's a lot of money for what appears to be a single stage with dies holders.

    Yikes that’s expensive. I’d rather have a MEC marksman press
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Yes USD, You'd really have to be chasing that last nth to pay that by th time it gets to our money or just don't care.
    Trouble is the press may have so little tolerances but what about the gear you put it it.
    shell holders of different makes come to mind for a start.

    Jeez... that’s costly and very hard to justify

    I’ll stick with my rockchucker aswell... wouldn’t mine a Mec Marksman or a Harrells compact reloading press

    Reloading is not something I do so certainly don’t need it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
