You can get the RCBS AmmoMAster for about that, new. The Rockchucker Supreme for about $100, new. Your call though, the BigMax is good press.

I bought the new Lee Classic Cast press and I am very happy with it. Its made out of cast iron, very solid and works like a charm. Following is a link to Midway's website where you can buy one for 65 dollars. Check the reviews and you will see what people think about it.

You can get the Lee Classic cast press for a bunch less at Cabelas, $60 for the press and $8 shipping, Midway will really soak ya for shipping, IIRC.

If your talking about the zero press.....yeah it will neck size .22 Hornet no drama's. In-Fact .416 Rigby Rounds feel like there not even in it when Full length sizing.

The Lee Classic Cast is about as good a single stage press as you can find, actually better than most IMO. Don't Knock em' til' you try one.

Less than $70 shipped from Cabelas.

Good Luck!
