   This hand press is substantial and well made. Works as it should. Even with my 62 year old hands, I had no problem using it. No issues accepting either my Redding or RCBS dies and shell holders. It is a modern version of hand presses used back in the late 1800’s for making reloads in the field. I purchased this hand press for the same reason. I also purchased a small metal tool box from H.D. to make a basic reloading kit with supplies to take into the field.

   This works a lot better than I had expected. I have only used it on pistol caliber rounds, but has good leverage to do rifle rounds.

   If a reloader is looking for a low-footprint, streamlined setup, they’re much better off mounting a standard single stage press and a powder measure to a board or a work desk. A decent single stage press, good dies, a hand primer, a powder measure, a set of calipers, and a scale makes for a well-rounded setup that can turn out a box of high quality, safe ammo in less than an hour. Portability has its benefits, though: being able to handle low-stress/low attention tasks like depriming just about anywhere is nice. Have a little spare time and a few hundred tumbled cases sitting around? Pop on a movie, deprime, and store the deprimed brass in a separate container. A portable press also makes it extremely easy to go to folks that might be interested in reloading to show them how it’s done. That’s why this is a 5-star setup. It stores in a smaller profile than any other press than the market, and you can make a “true” grab-and-go reloading bag with components, powder dippers, and a decent pocket scale.

   I bought this press years ago when I got my first apartment in town and a bench mounted press was not convenient. I always was a green equipment guy and biased against lee but I’ll tell you what. This press ended up being the most useful, cost effective piece of reloading equipment I ever purchased. It followed me through several moves, is the only reason I could crank out ammo in on post housing in the army and is still my go to for hunting level batches of ammo. I just finished a small batch of .280 ai for rifle season and thought I’d leave a review since a guy at work wanted a link for this press. Highly recommend.

   I think this may be the only tool that let’s you do single stage reloading without having to move furniture or set up a dedicated reloading table or stand. The hand press works as advertised. I’ve used it for .300 WSM and .45 Colt dies with no issues at all.
