Yep I am a fan but my Aldi unit is a toy compared to the super quality eBay unit Ogre gave me years ago.

Seriously it is a cheap eBay unit but it's worked for 9 years effectivel

I use lee, rcbs, redding dies in my lee press. I think the main thing to be careful of is shell holders can differ more so in height so use the same one especially if using the breechlock type system and you just plug the die in the press. I also never had much faith in the locking nuts so generally reset every time although the breechlocks with the lock nuts locked up work good.

I was looking at the eBay models to get an idea of what was available. Are the cheaper $30ish models any good, and what type did you buy?
