Bought mine, used. looks 25 yrs old. Yea it's junk. I also have 2 Lee turrets.
I emailed RCBS for a part number to order a primer catcher. The Tech. just sent it in the mail. Called it warranty. Great company.
I use the partner for 6PPC, mostly.
I use RCBS rockchuckers, and partners, also have a piggyback II, anytime I have called for replacement parts, ie primer tubes (lost 1 moving), rebuild kits for the piggyback, and even the primer catcher which got misplaced in the move. All were sent free of charge, under their no BS warranty.
Great company. Give em a call if you need anything.
Since we're on the topic of POS, Glen Zediker has touted the Lee Reloader as suitable (with an O-ring under the die) for bullet seating. Any commentary?
I have a couple of Partners and they seem to do the job. I also have some Lee collet dies for my 223's, 243 and 22-250. They seem to do a good job, just can't full length resize with them. I also have the big Lee Classic Cast iron monster. Best press I have ever had. Love it. Fully adjustable handle and strong. Love the fact that the spent primers drop down thru the hollow ram into a tube. I think it is the equal of anything on the market. Used the Partners when I reload at the range but now I go preloaded, and use my tuners to stay on top of tune.........most of the time. The Lee case length trimmer is the cheapest, simplest and IMO the best on the market. Last I saw they don't make one for the 6ppc. I got around that by getting one for the 243 WSSM and grinding just a tad off the end of the decapper pin. Works like a charm.
