Do you like it, is it worth the money? Is it good for someone just starting to reload? I'll reload 308,270win and 45/70.

    IMO RCBS equipment is built a lot better than Lee equipment. This press is a progressive press. Are you planning on loading just handgun ammo (other than .223)? If so, this press would probably do you fine, but if you are looking to reload rifle ammo, I'd look at a single stage press like the RCBS "Rock Chucker". You can use the "rock chucker" to reload handgun ammo too...it's just a lot slower. I would probably recommend that most people should start out on a single stage press, and stay there until they learn the basics. Just my .02[:)]

    I have Lee presses and they work fine. You may want to go with the standard turret press to get started.

    For a first time reloader, I would get a single stage press like the
    RCBS Rockchucker. Dont forget a powder scale, funnel, and dial caliper,
    not to mention a case trimmer and a deburing tool. Best reloading book
    I found is the Lyman. Granted, the initial outlay is a bit, but you can
    "tailor" your loads to what work best in YOUR guns.

    Hey, I gave that one in a giveaway a few years back. I always wondered how it worked out for the feller that got it. Can't remember who it was.
