Got this a while ago and figured Id give a heads up.

I got this through Higginson's in Ontario, beats Wholesales price by $130, total for the press, a shellplate, 12 bushings, and a few other small parts came to $570 with shipping I belive. Got here faster than expected, especialy since it had to come from the states. So I put it on the bench, set up some 45 dies and start reloading when it quits indexing, hmm... ok, so I begin to take it apart and discover that the hub for the shellplate hade broke in half, I didn't even get a loaded round done. I phone Hornady and they send me one by airmail without even asking a question, very good service from both Higginson's and Hornady I may ad. The part get here and I've reloaded about 300rds without a hitch.

I belive the part had a casting defect in it and there would be no way for Hornady to tell, just my luck I guess.

The press works great and is very well built in my opinion, even if I broke it:redface: the powder measure is very simple to setup once you do it a couple times, and I can switch between calibers in a matter of minutes, even quicker if I got the extra powder measure micrometers. I have not used a Dillon so I cannot compare them, but I cannot see the Hornady being any worse.
