<morten>Lee Hand Press for big bores?
hello!
Is it possible (or even practical) to use the Lee hand press for big bores like .375, .416 taylor, .416 rigby & .458?
and eventually, how large can you take it? (.500 A-Square??)
It just looks neat, that's all :-)
does somebody have any experience with this press?
thanks

ReconoYes. It's OK for the Rigby, although it would be handier if it were just a bit longer. Obviously, it would be fine for any shorter cartridge.
That's all I use for the Rigby.
Maybe some of the other very expensive portable presses are even handier, but here in the States it's hard to call $20 a mistake. And you probably won't wear out even a Lee on the big bores.
