It's a quality reloader and it's a good value for the money, but it primes on the upstroke and the leverage is terrible and the ergonomics suck. It takes a lot of force to seat primers and to get the press at a good height to seat primers the handle needs to be mounted at around bottom of the rib cage level. That puts the shell holder at about waist height, it's hard on the lower back and just an awkward height to work with. The priming system on the SDB can get a little flaky at times.
It's not so bad that I've actually carried through on my plan to sell it and upgrade, but if I could do it again I'd buy the 1050. It primes on the down stroke and what would take 15 hours on the SDB would take 4 on the 1050.
