Interesting project all right -- and the nature of that barrel flex surprised me. Would love to see it set up for three-round burst mode.

Will, one nice feature of the Lee is that you can turn the indexing on and off so that it will stay on the same station no matter how many times you raise and lower the ram -- or advance to the next die.

Re: Thinking about a new press
Will, I am surprised to hear about poor reviews. The one I had indexed like a bank vault and seemed just as solid -- a lot nicer than the Lyman turret press I had prior. I agree with Doc that for the money the Lee is hard to beat. But the Redding felt to me like it would be in use a century from now.
