Xmas day my wife gave me the Lee loadmaster press with the stand and a die set for my 270win .love her for that. the loader has a all in one set up deprimer - powder - bullet etc
    So do I cancel that other one? Will I need two of them? Give me your opinions suggestions thanks

    Tough decision.

    On one hand you have a progressive, on the other hand you are waiting for a single stage.

    Wait for the RCBS to come in, and set it up. DO NOT setup the progressive.

    Then once you have loaded several hundred rounds on the RCBS you might consider switching over to the progressive to see how the process works.

      Thanks for all your answers
      I'll be loading for 223 3006 7mm and 270
      Handguns are 40 SW and 357
      Might keep both like mentioned above single press for the more precise loads and the the other for handguns and 223.

        I'd use the progressive for high volume shooting calibers (223, .40, .357) and single stage for the rest.

          Well I'm keeping both of them
          Single stage for the rifle and progressive one for the 223 and handguns

            The Lee is a fine press. I say cancel. If you didnt get it at a great price, it wouldnt hurt. Heck, you might start loading and see that its not for you, then you'll end up selling both press for half the price losing twice....

            Edit, just saw your last post. If ine is a progressive and the ither single stage, keep both. I have 3 but honestly i use the single stage more than my progressive.

            In case you do sell, I'LL TAKE IT! (First in line everyone!) Haha.

                Kiss the wife, cancel your order and buy other components you'll need for reloading.

                  So whatever you do - keep the wife. The ones that support your hobbies are hard to come by. I'd keep both by the way - the press she gave you and the wife.

                      Keep both, I use my very old RCBS to do a lot of minor things so I don't have to break down my Dillon 650. Having two working machines helps when trimming and pulling bullets.
