Has anybody tried this? Would it be ok for a magnum load? Im trying to find a press that I dont have to bolt to a table, and it seems this might do the job. | ||

Nortman, Check out Harrell's Precision, http://www.harrellsprec.com and check out their press....comes in three sizes and clamps to the bench. Joe Where there's a hobble, there's hope. | |||

Joe, the Harrell's press is not an arbor press. | |||

Ovis: so, I would just have to turn the handle on the underside to tight it to the table? What I need, is a small press, and nothing that I would have to drill a hole in my bench. | |||

Sinclairs has a nice Arbor press. My Strength Is That I Can Laugh At Myself, My Weakness Is That I have No Choice. | |||

Nortman, You are correct.....you would only have to turn the handle to clamp it to he table.....no hole drilling. Concho's idea of the Lee Hand Press is a good one....I have two of those and they work well even when loading my .375Ultramag. I have limited space....the Harrell is compact and will work well with no hole drilling. The Lee Hand Press is inexpensive and will work well also. Joe Where there's a hobble, there's hope. | |||

Eddie: it started about a arbor press. But I need a small press, wich I can pack away, and dosnt need a drill to fit. | |||

I have a Sinclair arbor press to use with my bench rest dies. The B-Surare Super Mag Arbor Press is supposed to let you full length resize brass the Sinclair arbor press will not. I have a Lee hand press they are great, after I bought a tap and cleaned out the threads so the dies would screw in and out it works fine for straight walled cases. I resized some 7rem Mag brass for a friend (I do not know if they were originally shot in his rifle) when he got to the range they would not chamber. I later found out the Lee Hand press did not have the strength to completely resize the brass it must have sprung slightly. Anyway I pulled the bullets ran the same shells that wouldn’t fit through the same dies but in a RCBS Rock Chucker press and did not have the same problem. The Lee is great for seating bullets or re-seating them deeper at the range while working up a load. Please don’t think I am trashing the Lee Hand Press I am not it is a great tool if used within its limits. Swede --------------------------------------------------------- NRA Life Member | |||
