First press and equipment reccomendations

[The_Shadow]

To me the swing arms look sort of cheap and may wear out at the pivots...
The bushings are for quick change of the dies, instead of having to screw the die in or out for the length of the threads.  No big deal...
That 1/4" may only be an issue with the longer Magnum cartridges and / or long bullets...

Just my observations...but I still like the RCBS it was on sale a while back and may be again soon.

Alright. Thanks for the input. I didn't know if anyone had experience with Hornady's equipment. You're right, the Rock Chucker kit was I think 299.99 the other week, I did notice that, if only the tax money had been available then
