Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Reloading Kit - $296.99

This is such a stupid review. This kit is from Hornady who makes amazing ammo. They're not going to put their name on garbage and destroy their reputation. GTFO here with useless reviews. Elitist chumps who buy the latest trendy new thing that costs thousands because "moar money = more quality!!"

I dont understand a few things about this comment, and didnt like it on Brownells website (im not alone, i think that review had like 2 likes and 30 dislikes).

Please, if you are going to post a review about a product, REVIEW THE PRODUCT.

Having first hand experience with this press I think its great for what it is. As with all Hornady presses it has a lifetime warranty, so why are you copying someones words questioning quality?? I dont understand what issue you would have with quality from a company who carries a lifetime warranty?

From my experience, I used my brothers reloading equipment for the last few years so I decided to get my own. The priming system on this press is functional but slow, its easier and quicker to set primers with a hand-held primer install tool. Luckily this kit comes with one! its also a must to have a scale while reloading, THIS KIT COMES WITH ONE!

Please don't write off the opportunity to get 500 projectiles for the cost of S&H either, I reload 300AAC and getting 500 rounds of 308 projectiles adds a real $$ value to this KIT.

If your new to reloading, I completely recommend this kit. Does it come with some things that you may not use? sure, but the bang for your buck allows you to get some things (like the powder trickle feeder) that you might not use at first, but as you get deeper into reloading and start laying out precision loads it may become a valuable tool.

I was about to buy a progressive press but then realized that alot of my reloading also includes resizing the 223brass for 300AAC, and I feel more comfortable doing that resizing on a single stage press. Also, you cant go wrong with the quick disconnect features of the lock n load lineup.

If and when I decide that I do enough reloading for a progressive press, I will still want a single stage for my resizing and custom handload rounds down the road. every reloader should have a single stage in their "KIT"

Good box of parts at a fair price, Brownells also ships quick and has english speaking customer service.

So I just bought a Frankford Arsenal tumbler ($36), 8 pounds of crushed walnut lizard bedding ($1.50 broken bag discount), a bottle of Turtle Wax metal polish ($6), an old-timey Lee C-shaped single stage press ($28), and a set of Lee pacesetter dies for .223. I've already decapped/resized, cleaned and polished about 850 pieces of brass and all seems well so far, other than that I bent the pin on the resizing die (new one en-route free from Lee).

Having read what you've written, where should I invest my money next?

As someone who is just staring to reload, what is the quality of this kit? Would you recommend it?
