I just bought myself a Hornady Classic Kit, to start off my reloading addiction.
Going through all the items I was pleased (Those Hornady Dies are just pure perfection in terms of machining an finishing).
Then I got to the press.
Holy chipped paint batman! Chipping all over!
I immediately dismissed this to shipping and handling. It happens, can't do much about it.
Then, then... I noticed it was touched up all over the dang thing! A mis matching red color in a bunch of different spots, looked like someone's red nail polish!
I know this is a tool, and it will get its marks at some point... I can accept shipping damage... But, someone at the factory saw all this chipping and decided to just touch it up in the worst of ways.
Over reacting? Maybe... But, I spent 3 times more on this kit than a Lee 50th and my friend has a 10 year old Lee that still looks new. I figured for three times the price it would be even better.
Oh well... Kinda wanted to rant a little. Thoughts?
I know, I know... If it functions, quit whining and go reload!
