Personally I like it and I don't have the kind of money needed to buy a Dillon. I also don't know that I would anyways, the Lee works great. May have to do a little fidgeting but for the price of this press and a couple hundred for some extras I got the press set up to do .223, 300 blackout, .40, 380, 45 acp and 9mm. I don't have to change much to switch it over either. I would recommend going to thingverse (something like that) and 3d print the .223 case slider, it makes the case feeder work much better.

This press is less expensive then other progressives for a reason. It takes considerable mechanical skill to keep this press working. The priming system came with a primer tray that allowed primers to flip sideways and upside down. Lee had QC problems with their subcontractor. I loaded 7000 rounds and wore down the priming pin and broke the priming arm pivot. The case shuttle can rarely be made to work. I also ordered the optional bullet droppers and then found out that to make them work correctly you also have to order additional parts. Lee promptly shipped me replacement parts on my dime but the parts were free. I am stuck with this press but I can make it work......others will not be as successful.

Although it's a little finicky, I have been able to load and use this press. It is sturdy, and not to hard to get going. My biggest recommendation is not to expect to use this to load .223 or any other rifle caliber. It's a bit of a hit or miss with the primer, sometimes powder spills all over the place and I have resorted to using a single stage press for my rifle rounds and kept this for my 45, 40 and 9mm rounds.

The instructions are lacking on information on how to set it up. Had I not had prior experience I might had returned this product. The measuring device is a little cheapy made with plastic moving parts. More pictures of a completed setup would have been helpful. Be careful on the primer device, do not lock it into place until after it is inserted, otherwise get ready to pick up primers. If you have experience with reloading then buy this one, otherwise get a much simpler machine.

BEST machine and a great price. When setting it up take a small amount of time to tweak it a little bit and it functions just like a higher dollar machine. Excellent online videos showing you what others have done to make it a fine running reloader. I spent maybe 45 extra minutes tweaking. Not a lot if you consider what the higher price machines cost. If you want one to run out of the box go ahead and part with a lot more cash. My brother has a Dillon with a lot of the goodies and a high price and his runs no better than my LEE. I can tell you from experience, ANY reloader will cause you problems if you don't keep them CLEAN and adjusted.
