This pres works great. Some say the dies move but if you tighten them down well they dont. And the movement od thr die holder on the mouth is on purpose. Love it compared to my lee press. But it doesnt do anything special or badly.

Have used it about a month and very pleased! The so-called slop in the die holding system some complain about is by design. This allows the case to align with the die as it was meant to without forcing it into what might be a slightly out-of-alignment die and bending the case. No problems with runout on this press. I’ve been reloading for 53 years and have used an RCBS Rockchucker exclusively all those years. I like the Rockchucker and will still use it to prime with but stevemy new FA press will be used for everything else. Love the light and the solid heavy construction! Optics planet had best deal on the press and die holders I could find anywhere plus free shipping. Definitely would buy again!

Picked this up on sale as my last press was wore out. Great leverage to resize cases. With good dies my case and bullet runout is minimal. If I had to find a downfall, it would be having to purchase extra die blocks and how they tighten. I always preferred the clamp style lock rings over the set screw pressing into the threads.

I filled out a return the same day I received it.The press is easy to set up, quick to use and would be fantastic if it weren't for two very important factors.The first factor is dies come loose from the die holders come loose far too easily therefor giving you erratic headspace amounts when full length resizing.The second factor, and the absolute fatal flaw of this press, is the black metal floor plate that holds the jaws of the cartridge holder is held onto the press by 5 extremely small screws that are incredibly weak. The first sticky cartridge you have will cause the screws to fail and the floor plate to come off the press, probably ruining it. The screws are like an 1/8th of an inch in length and should have been made much longer to give it added strength given how much force they have to withstand.

This is a very good and solid single stage reloading press. It has some nice features like the LED light and the heavy duty die locks that offer very reliable performance. The setup is fairly straightforward and I would recommend this press as a primary or secondary press on any reloading bench.

This is my second one. Even though its easy to change dies having two speed's things up. The built in shell holder is a great plus. One less thing to find on the bench. The led light is nice for seeing what is going on. Thumbs up in my experience.
