Looking for a SS press to do some de-capping and maybe some bullet pulling. Not that I would EVER make a mistake! hahahaha I would also like this press to to do some low volume pistol reloading .38 special and maybe .380. Thanks for your thoughts!
 
For a cheap single stage press for decaping 9mm, I bought a Lee single stage. You won’t be using it for large calibers, so it will be fine. It’s kind of small and wimpy compared to other high dollar brands, but it’s served me well for its limited roll. I use a Dillon 550, but I found out having multiple presses makes things easier for me.
 
As you know, I’vd Loaded well over 10,000 rounds on my Rockchucker. It’s probably more like 15k at this point. Sized over 130 pounds of home cooked boolits with a push through die on same press. Tens of thousands of pulls on that lever and she’s going strong. Absolutely lunacy... or meditative zen in the man cave. I really gotta build a table and set up that 550 soon.....
