picked this up like many others did to mainly do depriming without having to be confined to my reloading bench and this gave me more versatility for about the same price as a dedicated hand deprimer. Work great, nice and smooth for the first 3 casings then started to bind up, wiped it down and oiled it again and not joy. Placed a return on friday and got the replacement today. Ran around 100 9mm casings with no issues (with the press, the universal priming die was another matter).The product title says 'cast iron' but the details do say it is aluminium, which it is (someone should update the title). It is nice and light weight, fairly easy to handle - could have a bit better ergonomics to provide a better grip and leverage, but overall it works for what you need it to do. May be a bit of a challenge to reload some larger calibers but generally the construction seems sturdy.The breech lock seems like a good concept, my initial impressions are a bit mixed. I haven't had any real issues but i haven't used it enough to get a good sense about the reliability. I believe the older versions of the loader had a button/pin that would keep the bushing from rotating, this one does not and i did catch it loosing or backing out a bit during the little bit i have used it. It's possible i may not have tightened it down quite enough, but it is something i will need to pay attention to going forward. Overall i just think it may be a little putzy and not being a stationary unit there could be issues with it inadvertently coming loosing while handling and being bumped around.I also bought the Lee universal decapping die to used for this. That may have to be returned. In the small amount of use the deprimer pin had to be readjusted and re-tightened 3 times. Every 20-25 casings it the pin would be pushed far enough into the die that it wouldn't pop the primer out. I didn't notice anything like the pin being misaligned and catching on the bottom of the casing or other above normal amount of force needed to pop a primer, just seemed like it would start slipping after a bit and i would have to adjust it again. I cranked it down pretty well (too well probably) and it ran another 30 casings without issue but i am not very confident about it. Might be better to just use another decapping/sizing die that has a better locking system on the pin.Giving this 4 stars because it ultimately did what i wanted it to do - even though the first unit was a dud, Amazon got me a replacement extremely quickly.* Bottom line, if you're confident all you need is something to do decapping while away from your bench, i would look at a one of the dedicated hand deprimers (a friend uses the Frankford Arsenal one and has had no issues) .* If you want the option possibly tweak/reload rounds at the range this would do the job.* If you are looking at something to do a lot of reloading, get yourself a single stage press you will be much happier. There are good quality new/used single stage presses out there for about the same amount of money.I already have four bench presses for reloading a variety of ammunition, 2 RCBS RC Supreme presses, a Redding t7 turret and a XL 650.Each serves its purpose very well from loading precision rifle ammunition on the two RC presses, accurate rifle ammo on the T7, and bulk handgun ammo on the 650.however what I didn’t have was a way to prepare cases while away from the bench. all I wanted was to be able to decap them prior to tumbling. And I wanted to do it in front of the TV.I purchased this little hand press and the lee precision decapping die.While I wouldn’t consider actually sizing brass, seating or crimping with this press (I am sure it would do it for my smaller cases, but my other presses will do it much better and faster…)It works very well for recapping, over a weekend as I sat in front of the TV I de-capped aprox2000 - 9mm,100 - 40 s&w500 - 45 acp,1500 - 5.56 x 45500 - .308 win100 - 243 win50 - 30.06and a collection of odd 7mm rem, 300 wsm 44 mag and 10mmin the end it works just how I would expect it to…However I would like to point some things out that I did not like about it..1. though the description says that it is cast Iron… IT IS NOT… it is cast aluminum… not that it really makes a difference to me, it is plenty strong enough to recap anything I throw at it (crimped primers quiver in fear) but the description is wrong. and the main thing that bothers me is that the aluminum body wears from the ram sliding in the cylinder. I have several times over the weekend wiped off all the gooey aluminum powder left on the ram, and re-oiled it to keep it from wearing out so fast.2. when decapping, the primers fall into the bored out ram. Yes this is on purpose, there is no external primer collection for this. you just have to pull the shell holder off now and then and dump the primers into a waste bin… not so bad right?well it wouldn’t be but the little primer collecting ram doesn’t have adequate space.On average I found that it will hold about 40 small rifle primers or 25 large rifle primersWhich isn’t all that much when you are trying to move through several hundred or thousand casings.you will find yourself continuously having to stop to empty the tiny reservoir.and usually you will have to shake it a few times to get the little bits out..um yes that too.. but you know what I am talking about.Anyways it gets annoying and I find myself wishing it and I had a much higher capacity.3. Last but not least. I decided that I don’t like the Lee precision Breach-lock.. it has a tendency to back out toward the little spring loaded lock pin.. I would’t trust the rounds to be at all concentric or consistent in seating length. If I were doing anything but depriming I would have just tossed it and balanced a rockchucker in my lap… But I am not so I won’t.In the end. despite my the things I don’t like about it.. I still like it.It does what I want it to do and does it well for the price.And unless someone has a better combo for a handheld deprimer I will be sticking to this for a while yet.excellent,very practical and simple to operate, saving time to change and reset turrets heads, portable , I am very happy and pleased to have one of this Lee Hand press.good luck to you all.rgdsVorteile: Günstig, robust, platzsparend.Nachteile: Langsam, kraftaufwändig, fummelig. Unergonomisch geformt.Vorweg: Eine normale Einstationenpresse wie die Classic Cast ist dieser in allen bis auf zwei Punkten überlegen, Preis und Handlichkeit. Sie erlaubt es dem Einsteiger Wiederladen zu probieren ohne mit einem Hammer zu hantieren (Lee Loader Kits) oder viel Geld auszugeben. Ein Sportschütze der öfter Großkaliber schießt, wird um die Anschaffung einer größeren Presse auf Dauer nicht herumkommen.ABER: Diese Presse kann man überall hin mitnehmen, und ein Jäger der nur wenig selbstgemachte Munition schießt könnte alles was er zum Wiederladen braucht in einem Schuhkarton aufbewahren.Empfehlung dazu: Lee Ram Prime oder ähnliche, um die Hülsen zu bezündern.prezzo ottimo, la utilizzo solo per decapsulare....fa il suo lavoro.I purchased this press primary to decap brass prior to cleaning with steel pins, and being able to do it in the car or watching TV. Decappin is easy and fairly fast comparing to bench mounted press. Before purchasing, I looked other devices and reviews. This product met my expectations completely. One thing you have to be careful is to remove decapped primers before fill up and jam shell holder. However contrary to some comments on the net it takes over 100 pcs small pistol primers. I recommend this product. 5 stars from me.Attrezzo imballato con scatola di cartone, essenziale, aperto l'imballo la pressa era perfetta ! Oliata e intonsa ! Ottima impressione
