Lee Loader

my hand press and everything but components fit nicely in a fat 50 cal can works great while sitting around after a day of being the the woods chasing MR. and MRS. whitetail.

Lee's sure has every angle covered when it comes to presses!

I've got 2 handpresses, one with and one without the lock ring eliminator bushings. I don't use mine as much as I use to but I ain't giving the newer modal away either.

This is the last press i bought and bought it because it was cheap "$50" plus free shipping & why i didn't buy it years ago i don't know these are great little presses come in very handy.

I got mine several years ago when I was "between" places to reload. I kept it along with a couple die sets and a few bullets and primers in a plastic shoe box under my bed. Other components were in my closet next to my skivvies...

No wonder it smelled like you were shooting BP. So

I've been using the same "Breach Lock" Hand Press for the last 7 years of my short 8 years of re-loading for 6 different calibers. Just a wild guess, I've probably loaded only 7-8 thousand rounds on it ... but it's held up well. My original plan was to only use it for a year, maybe two, then move up another step. After figuring out the Hand Press would do anything I loaded just as well as the bench mounted presses all my buddies used, I decided to hold out for another couple of years. The medical/financial whack in 2016 changed my plans drastically, so retirement at 65 (this year) was out of the question. With the business still in operation for the next 4-5 years, I can't give up the wanted "reloading space" to set up all the stuff I'd like to get. From a rational point of view, the Hand Press set-up is capable of doing all I can do, or afford to do.

Mr. Lee did a really fine job producing the hand press. I need to get another one just to have as a back-up

Love mine, too!
