Beretta-Smart Reloader

Hi,
I don't have a need but thought Id make this available to budding re-loaders. Seems Beretta import these.

I have seen these pretty cheap on occasion. ($290) for the kit.

Does anyone have one? Are they any good. Perhaps a bit of a review from someone who has used one for a while

All that stuff for 290 looks like a extremely good deal, provided the press is of decent quality.

I don't have one nor ever seen one but do remember reading a discussion years ago on a couple of Forums.

From memory a number of people had problems with breakages/failure of parts. Yes they were replaced BUT the quality was reported as poor.

I believe they are Made In China...

Say no more. Buyer beware.

That right there is a bargain

[marksman]

I know people who have tried the gear but not 100% happy with the quality

[Mitch]

It is cheap crap.

Would probably suit someone who only loads a few rounds a year, but me I'd personally buy something with a bit more quality too it.

I don't have any of their kit, but about 6 years ago I saw some of their kit in my LGS and the guy offered to allow me to look at it (with my hands) and it was really not great. Priming tool.

Suffice it to say that that I bought Lee and haven't regretted it.

[Oldbloke]

OK, consences is not as good as the Lee. Poor quality. Don't buy it.

Worth asking the question. Might save a young budding reloader a lol of angst.

I saw one last week & just confirming the above quote. Looks poor quality.

Even if you grab a lee kit, the bullet puller, trimmer, powder trickler, lube pad etc are things you’ll probably need to buy after anyway. So if only this kit came with a lee press and a wet ss tumbler you’d be set I reckon.

Lee have made several upgrades to their hand primer over the last year. I know as I first broke the large primer part they replaced it quickly no charge. Then just recently i broke the small primer part. Again told them the problem sent a picture and they explained how it happened said they had made an upgrade which I had done something similar to fix my broken one. Sent me the new upgraded part works a treat now. I would think the Large may also get the same upgrade.

I think that this is kind of relevant
