Lee Handpress - any good?

In the next few weeks, in order to continue reloading, I will have to resort to a hand press. The Lee version looks like a sturdy contraption and works with the dies I already have. Does anyone here have some experience with these?

I'm a little worried about seating bullets with it, since my cases are sometimes pretty full and the whole things seems prone to wobbling.

Don't hold back. I want to continue reloading, but I really want to know what to be wary of and any tricks you've learned.

I have one that I bought so that I could reload at the range if I wanted to.

It's not as convenient as a bench press, and it will give you a bit of a workout. But it does work, and it will make good ammo for you. I just wouldn't use it if I planned to knock out a couple of hundred rounds for my 41 Mag.

That's exactly what I bought mine for. Working up a load at the range.

It's excellent. I use mine all the time. Just keep the thing lubricated with a little WD-40 once in a while or it gets "stiff." Can't recommend the press enough. 8mmFan
