Anyone have one and do they like it. My 20 plus year old rockchucker is starting to get lots of play in it. Trying to find ideas on new press.
 
I have had mine for close to 25 years and I consider it to be the best there is, would not traid it for anything. You will not be disappointed
 
Just got one for my Bday. Great press. Smooth, with LOTS of leverage. Spent primer handling is great. May try shorter ball handle for handgun loads. If you switch back and forth between large and small cartridge bases (i.e. 270/8x57/45colt & 9mm/7.62Tok, etc.) swapping ends on the shell holder jaws is a pain. Looking at the universal shell holder adapter for it so it will take regular shell holders.
Hornady and Forster lock rings work well, others don't. Hornady micrometer adjusters are too tall to clear handle yoke. Does not require overhang on benchtop.
