I don't have one, but have watched several videos on youtube demonstrating it. Looks like a quality made, user-friendly, and pretty quick to produce ammo.

I have a Redding T-7 and love it.

I have never used the priming arm on. I purchased mine with the optional slide bar primer feed system

I switched from a single stage press to a T-7 and have been very pleased with my choice. I handle the cases less and can keep two pistol die sets on the turret which (with a little planning)minimizes die changes. It's a real timesaver when dealing with dented case mouths. I can remove the dent with the belling die, and go back to the sizing die – no die changes or major disruption to the loading cycle.

I'm thinking of getting one to reload 38/357 44spl/44mag and 45acp.
I've been reloading shotgun shells for 23 years but never metallic. Seems like a good way to go.

I love my T7. I really like the priming arm. Buy an extra priming arm to facilitate quicker primer size changes.
