Changing dies is a no brainer so you don't need to buy different bushings. I load a lot of belted magnums and I doubt Lee would hold up.
    Really??

    The Lee Classic Cast is as least as strong as the RCBS.



    I own both and the Lee easily handles belted cases.

    I think you are thinking of Lee's lower end presses.

      For the record, even the Lee primer catch system is not fail-proof. Sure, it works 99% of the time, but SOMETIMES about every, hmm, I dunno, Just sometimes, like once every whatever rounds, a primer will NOT drop straight down. Instead they will drop out the front and onto the floor they go. It just happens. Albeit not enough for me to catch count on how many times per 100 but it happens. LONG LONG runs between it happening, but it happens... So if that is what the RC does then PISHAW. Who cares. I might have had it happen twice in one sitting when I was decapping about 1500 5.56 cases...
      The Lee CC is designed to use with the priming arm in place and that is what directs the vast majority of primers straight down and into the ram/tube.

      I don't prime on press so the arm gets in the way.

      I've removed the arm and as I stated before just friction fitted a u shaped piece of plastic in the slot and voila every single primer and all the visible dust/primer residue is directed into what is effectively a closed system.

      Looking forward to a new Lee progressive if it's based on the CC series.

        So, I went ahead and bought a Lee Big Rock Chucker Boss 2 Classic train track press.

        In the end, I decided on the Lee press. Most agreed that the LCC and RC2 were both fine presses with the LCCs spent primer system being a bit better out of the box.

        I considered the Redding, but it was almost double the price and I didn't see double the benefit.

        I'll likely use redding dies and will manually drop powder using my rcbs charge master and a funnel.

        My dillon will remain set up for volume loading.

        Thanks for everyone's insight. If I don't like the lee, I'll send it back and buy something else.
