[QUOTE="oneof79, post: 818354, member: 3138"] Dustingaunder, The Lee is very inexpensive and will work but, under the shellplate there are some little plastic "fiddley" pieces that wear out over time. They have something to do with positioning the shell directly under the die. The way the primer feed "trough" is made when you get down to the last few primers it hangs up and causes problems. Thats when it is clean, when it gets a little dirty your brother will wish you were reloading for him. The Hornady is a little more expensive, is easy to switch between calibers and a hell of a lot more robust than the Lee. In my opinion your brother should get a cheap Lee "C" press (about 25 bucks new) and load singly while saving up for a good Hornady or Dillon. When I started reloading I had a Lee Pro 1000 and a C press. I ended up using the C press most of the time. Now I have the Hornady the biggest problem I've had with it was one time I forgot to change the primer feeding tube to the small pistol primer tube and flipped over about 30 out of 100 primers while loading 38 special.
