Despite some initial skepticism about the accuracy of those breech locks holding accuracy after each die change I was pleasantly surprised that they really do hold their setting well. Downside is you need to buy breech lock rings for each die you use...but they are reasonably priced.
I'm sure I'll upgrade to a cast press at a later stage
Or just leave the breach lock in and screw them in. I have bought enough breech locks for the seaters which is handy and a couple of other dies.
Let them spend coin on presses Raven you can then spen it on primers powder and bullets

I forgot about that One will do but now I have my commonly used dies all setup it's just a case of checking the first few cases.
Powder and primers eh. Bought heaps of primers last week and, of course, they were out of my powder...
G'day all,
for years I used a RCBS partner press for my 6ppc, and a K&M arbour press for Wilson seater. The RCBS was nice and light ideal for FLS ppc cases and neck/seating if required. I bought a Harrell for one press to do the lot
Cheerio Ned
Lyman crusher and a haydon arbor press with force measurement gauge for inline seating. I have seater dies reamed with my chamber reamers so the ammo being loaded is aligned as straight as the chamber. Then I can batch my match ammo by final seating tension. For varmint ammo, I just use a standard Wilson seater on the arbor press

I'm still using my Lee Breech Lock after 6 years ......
..... it ain't broke, so I don't see a need to fix it!
