	I have a Lee that I bought specifically eo load .450/.577 Martini (Lee Dies). It is very rugged and well made IMO. Actually I have good luck with most lee products. Price can triumph when combine with good engineering. Jerry PS I am a bit biased… I am a structural engineer lol

	It's a good press design better than most, Problem is I want to run 10 G dies for brass shot shells. 1 1/4 inch. Some of the old Herters were 1 1/4 and new very expensive 50 BMG presses are too. Large bore was not uncommon years ago. Boats

	Agree on the Lee Classic Cast, which is my "go to" press and accepts 1 1/4" dies. Especially like the fact that the handle can be set for either right or left side use. Have installed a set of the Hornady bayonet adapters to make swapping dies very easy and quick. Also have the Redding Boss II, which I won at a match, but would buy another Lee first. Guess we engineers prefer red and the fact that they cost ~$100 on the web. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I have a RCBS Ammomaster that has a removable bushing so larger dies can be used, I don't k now the thread size but with the bushing removed it can be used with .50 BMG dies. It also looks to be strong enough to be used as a swage. I never use it as it's at my son's house and he doesn't use it either. Bill

	also a lee classic press user - great value, but more importantly it's a massive strong press and i use more than my redding t7 and rcbs rockchucker. it has no problem reforming .45-70 primer pockets from large rifle to large pistol.

	Digital Looked at that press on line says 1 1/2 x 12 thread. Only thing I know about 10 G Brass shell dies is what I read on CH4D's web site, refers to die outside diamater as 1 1/4 inches Am going to call CH4D today and see exactly what thread the dies have Boats

	Opps Missed that ref to Lee's Classic Cast. It does accept 1 1/4 inch dies and not real high priced either CH4D confirmed the 10 G dies are 1 1/4 inch 12 thread Thanks all Boats
