Another happy LCT owner. I've been loading on mine for several years. I recently got the new auto drum mentioned. I really like it as well.
Get a couple extra square ratchets. This is the little square plastic part that goes in the indexing mechanism. You will wear a few out. I now go through one every couple years. They run .50. Yes, that is 50 cents, and they take a minute or two to install. Yes, it is plastic. That is to act like a fuse to prevent damage to the rest of the mechanism if it is forced to move in the wrong way. Some may think it a bad design. I consider it cheap insurance.
Great machine to learn on. If you want to move on to a progressive later, you may likely want to keep it as a dedicated decapping station, or whatever. They run about $100 for the press itself. You will spend more than that for a caliber conversion on the Dillon.
