I'm taking a hard look at the SDB as part of my due diligence in considering a progressive press from my Lee Classic Turret. I'm considering Lee Auto Breech or other Lee presses as well.
I only reload 9mm and am looking for something under $500. The only thing that I'm having a hang up about regarding the SDB is that there is no optional case or bullet feeder. I was hoping even just one of these two feeders was available. The thought of having to seat a brass and a bullet, then alternate pulling the lever doesn't thrill me for this price.
I may be just thinking like a lazy person or being too unreasonable or maybe I'm missing something. Do other SDB users have any comments regarding this requirement? Lee Auto Breech has both a case and bullet feeder for about half the price and I wonder why everyone is not just buying the Auto Breech lock instead of the SDB. I know the Lee bullet feeder requires a lot of tinkering but I wonder if that's worth it considering half the price. Any insight or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
