I did tons of research online before buying this model, and it is as finicky as everyone says it is. Be prepared to take your time to setup this unit.

My biggest tips:

1. Get a riser so you do not have to take off your dies to get powder charge off.
2. Get a charge bar, the discs just were not accurate enough for me
3. Clean machine thoroughly before use (videos on the net)
4. Sand and wax primer feed (videos on the net) you will thank me for this
5. I upgraded charger to spring loaded setup, did not care for the chain.
6. Lube all parts of charger with graphite, it WILL hang up on you if you do not
7. I ordered a 3DPrinted last stage ejector too because the little bar is terrible
8. Do not lube with grease, lube with light coat of oil VERY light. I mean just a bit shiny (under shell plate, and shaft)

After about 9 hours of setup and about 10 messed up rounds, I have it producing 9mm at about 60 rounds per hour (this is me taking my time), you will find a rhythm that works with this machine.

Also, if you want to do different calibers (in my case .45ACP), you are going to need to buy a new shell plate, dies (already had), and if you use the shell feeder, will need a large shell feeder.

All in all, great machine once you figure out the quirks, in my opinion this is not a setup for a new re-loader. I started with the single stage press before graduating to this one.

One more thing I would like to add... it would be nice if this had 4 holes, as I crimp all my rounds.
