If you are going to do case reforming, do yourself a favor and buy a GOOD press in the first place - RCBS RockChucker or the equivalent from Hornady or Lyman.

I'll second that! (Having broken several white metal parts several times on the Lee Challenger and Lyman Handi-press.) You can still load good ammo on lesser presses, but it's much easier with an RC or similar sturdy press, especially when doing f.l./reforming of rifle brass.

I've heard a lot of good things about the RCBS RockChucker and i was considering it as well. It sure looks sturdy. Some of the reloading videos with that press are neat. The kinds of ammo that can be easily made are incredible.
I guess if your going to reload, you better to it right!  ;D

My RockChucker was a Christmas gift from my wife in the mid-70s; I have no idea how many rounds I have loaded on that thing. It's virtually impossible to break and it never wears out. It was originally designed for swaging lead cores and fired .22 LR cases into .22 caliber varmint bullets. RCBS stands for RockChucker Bullet Swage.
