Today I purchased an Aussie made "zero" press as I had wanted a bigger single stage than my RC11....after looking at the RCBS Ammo Master, Redding Ultra Mag and the zero, I have opted for the zero. If anyone is looking for an extra heavy duty single stage then this might be of interest. I will have some pics for folks in the enxt couple of days as my boss took a couple of pics of it on his digital camera for me.

It has a huge opening a tad under 6" it is made from fabricated high tensile steel and can load from .22 hornet through to 4 bore. It also has a unique shell holding systym to secure your standard RCBS shell holders. It delivers over 6 tonnes of torque and the inventor Anthny Klimek claims it to be much stronger than a cast press.

Does this guy have a website or online dealer for his presses?

I'd like to see those pics. Sounds like a hella strong press. How much do these cost (Aus)? Does he have other models? I'm in the market for a strong, non-autoindex turret press myself. Any info would be great. maxman

Folks I bought mine from Clayton firearms and then went around to "The Shooters Shop" (made here) ph# 03 95460905 to get a bushing that I needed to fit over size dies.

I will hopefully have the pics today and I will e-mail them to someone who might be able to post them here for all to see.

P.S. I also like to support an Aussie made product where possible. The inventor of the press is German as well and they only seem to know how to make top rate products I reckon.

Send the pics to me PC and I'll put them on. Sounds like the thing I need for the Rigby, if the price is right.

Only the one model as far as I know, no turret.

Jaysus JCN,
I thought i've told ya'll nothing shoulder fired can even make an impression on a trollskull... and without hydrolics, I think that would just tickle one.

WOW, PC what a press... it's a MONSTER....

do NOT get you left index finger tip (we've all done it) caught in that one.

Thanks Bakes.

Below are the pic's of the Zero press.

Geez PC certainly looks big enough? BTW how much are they, just bought a Lee Classic myself for the same reasons as you but not as heavy duty as that Zero.

John,

I paid $430AUS at Claytons and then went around to the fellow that makes them in Springvale and spent $20.00 on a Bushing. The bloke in Springvale stated I could buy it cheaper from Claytons than from him.

The "mother of all reloading presses"

Let's put Ass Clown's head in it and find out if it truly delivers 6 tonnes of torque.

Jeffo,

I have to say I am impressed with it from the moment I saw it "I knew I must have it"..............It's Alive

It's built like a brick shithouse.
Aside from .50bmg why is a press that large needed? Swaging brass?
And what's the cost on that sucker?

I think he said $430.
PC that is a monster. I know if it is making your knuckles go white to hold on a bench it must be bloody heavy.

Karl,

it is bloody heavy heavy mate....Karl whats up with you at the moment ?? e-mail us off line mate.

I will be up Brisbane way in the new year.......for good looks like, seems I will hopefully wangle some kind of work transfer.

I managed to put the decapping pin through my thumbnail the week before last, Thank god I wasn't using that press!

PC,
Just mailed you.Would be good to see you if you come up mate.

Karl.

Trev you may have had a thumb in what ever calibre you where loading for

I could have doen without this press but I just thought it was to cool not to have
