I really like lee products, they are usually a great bargain. But Im am not a fan of their reloading presses. I have a pro 1000 that I have HEAVILY modified for use with pistol and other high volume reloading applications, It is Not progressive anymore because I was tired of replacing plastic pieces that were integral to the whole "progressive" thing.
A good friend was given a "starter kit" for christmas years back and I heleped him get it set up. I was not real impressed with that one either. Now their dies, I like, you can make very good ammunition with them.
My first press that I bought when I was 13 was a used Lyman Orange Crush and after lord knows how many shells, It got worn out. I recently purchased a Forster Coax, and Honestly Reloading shells with it is on a whole nother level. I got mine for right at 200 dollars. Now mind you its a single stage, and is slower, but for me its not about how many I can make, Its about repeatable production.
Check the Coax out, its a great press.
