Cal SibleyI never knew Sinclair made a press. I know they have a benchrest press in the works for using with dies like Wilsons knock out dies, but they won't handle regular 7/8 by 14 reloading dies. It's known as an Arbor press. Maybe it's new and I didn't know about it. Best wishes.

BigJakeJ1sI had not heard of it either, so I checked it out on their website, under new products. Looks pretty nice, but at that price, it does not seem to offer much. I'd either go cheaper, with a Lee classic cast, or for more money, but still less $ than the sinclair, the Co-Ax.

rootbeerI got myself an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme last week. That is
the press to have. It's massive, stiff, strong, heavy, precise and smooth as silk in operation. Discard the primer arm-- it's useless. Rather, get an on-press, ram-prime or a hand primer-- much faster and you never touch the primers. I paid around $130 total at Sportsman's Whorehouse in Reno. It is the last single-stage press anyone would ever need to buy.

DavidI haven't used one and probably won't get one, but just got a Christmas flyer from Sinclair with a nice picture and description of it. It uses the 7/8" threaded dies, but only has a 2.5" opening. They say it will take up to a 308 Win (for length) and it costs $279.00.
