I traded a Lee Auto Prime to a gun club buddy for a Lee Load-all II. Having read some negative comments about the LAII, I didn't know what to expect, but I am impressed with it. While it's made with a lot of "plastic" that plastic is heavy duty (know of any guns or parts made of "plastic"?) and the press turns out many excellent reloads. I do limited shotshell loading (rifle and handgun is my thing) and am not looking to reload to save $, just for the fun of loading and tailoring loads as I like them. As far as I am concerned this is a press well worth the little cost that you will pay. It comes complete with all the powder and shot bushings which cost extra from other press makers. Try it and if you don't agree, I bet you could sell or trade it to someone who would find it ideal.
