Begrudgingly...yesI really want to hate this kit. But I honestly can't.
The scale has been replaced for something better after only a few weeks, and I didn't realize, because of reading the box in the store, that the kit came with all the required bushings, powder meter, etc. So I started with a lot of pricey extra stuff.
But the kit is complete. You will reload with this kit after only buying dies and the cartridge components.
You will learn a lot, too, about what you do and don't like in this kit and reloading in general.
If you are like me and don't know another soul on the face of the earth that reloads so that you can ask questions and are starting from complete lack of knowledge and are confused over all the competing products on you tube...have no fear...this kit will get you to creating a live round.
So in that regard I recommend this kit.
Whether the round will allow the rifle to go into battery and shoot accurately, well, that is the other three-quarters of reloading nobody tells you about...
And you won't learn about that part until you do the first part.
So if you are on the fence my vote is to get the kit and get reloading.

A very good start to reloadingI would have given the reloading kit 5 stars, if they had done a better job of identifying the parts and pieces. I am new to reloading and really had to research and look to figure out how everything came together. Once I figured that out, bingo!! This is a great kit to buy if you are starting out reloading. I had to buy the Nosler reloading book as the Hornady didn’t have the cartridge I intended to reload ( 280 Ackley ). I love the “lock-n-load” feature of the dies. The quality of the press and supplied items is fantastic. I have been able to reload my first “batch” of 280’s and they are spot on. One item you will need to purchase is a caliper. If you want to get into reloading, you want to buy this kit.

A great kit for all levelsAs a beginner and looking for a kit, I was torn between this and RCBS. Both are fine choices, but I found this one with all the auxiliary supplies to be the better choice. I love the dies and the "lock-and-load" feature where, with one twist, I can switch over dies, set to my specs, and not worry about constant fiddling.
I find the powder measure to be consistently accurate in its drops and the hand held primer is as good as any, if not better.
What enjoy best about this kit, is that I can spend my time, in no particular hurry, processsing brass and once I'm ready, I can then charge the cases and seat the bullet.
There are a few more things one needs before starting, like dies, shell holders, caliper, trimmer, primer pocket cleaner, and brass tumbler (optional) but this is a terrific starting point
A progressive press is overkill for my needs, and should that situation change, I'll always keep my single stage while looking to Hornady for future needs.
This is a terrific press that will last a lifetime.

Lock n Load Classic KitI bought this single stage press kit to augment my Lock n load progressive kit. I find myself using this single stage kit more and more of the time because it is so convenient and easy to use. The progressive is great for large start to finish jobs over weekends, but if you like to just putter around with partial jobs during week after work, the classic single stage is perfect. My only criticism is the hand primer included in the kit. I broke it the second time I used it, likely my fault. But it seems flimsy. I now have a bench mount primer as well as the primer on the progressive so the hand primer would be redundant.

Sturdy and easy to useThe lock and load is pretty cool to use. It makes die adjustment permanent and easy. Hornady came through with 500 rounds of free ammo too. The hand held primer tool is not as effective as the die primer seat. I am very pleased.
What three dies does this kit come with? And....how expensive are additional dies?
I need: .45acp, 30.06,.22 longs, 9 mm and .40 s&W.
Asked by: Sheamus
Thank you for your question. Dies do not come with this set and must be purchased separately.

To Fishallthetime, Whay do you say this is not the best for beginer and what other odds and ends ar needed?
Fish, Why u say Rcbs is better for new handloaders? What are some of the must haves a newby needs beside what comes in this kit? I saw some neat xtras on tv show such as primer bore, case trimmer and a few others are all these needed? can one powder work in 270WSM, 270, 30 30 or do I need different powders?
Asked by: Seagull
Never used the lock and load so, no comment
As for powder. Bullet choice makes a huge difference in powder choice but NO.
The 270 and 270 WSM can share powder. Nosler recommends RL19(Reloader) but the 30 30 shares no powder brand or speed in my books. Nosler recommends Varget. I would probably use IMR4895.

My husband wants a reloading kit for Christmas. Will this lock n load take care of all his different kinds of shells?
Asked by: Sheena
It is a start to reload them all as it is capable.There are dies for each caliber he will need.The book that comes with it will guide him through each caliber he needs.This press is well thought out in it's angle of hand approach as you cycle through the reloading process.Making everything more comfortable,and visual.
