Reloading Press
What are you blokes using I have a Simplex Master and a Redding T7 both are big presses.
I love the T7 when it comes time for case forming
But I have been thinking about a smaller press that could be used at home on the bench for neck sizing and set up portable style for load development.
Not sure on what make but the Harrels compact is rather appealing.

Re: Reloading Press
The harrels ones look great, i had a play with them at Luke's when he got his first shipment.
This is what im running at the moment
Forster Co-Ax
Dillon 550
Dillon 1050
Lee Classic Cast x 2
K&M Arbor
The Forster, Lee and 550 are set up on QD plates for the inline precision bases.

I have the tall one mounted on my bench and i bought a low base so that i can take a press with me if i want to do load development elsewhere. I have a qd plate for the lubesizer, it makes it easy to pull out the press you want.

Re: Reloading Press
Super Simplex will do all you ask for,a no need to spend big bucks on them, generally can be bought second hand for under a hundred. Am actually thinking of selling my T7, it gets bugger all useMISSED wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2017 11:59 am What are you blokes using I have a Simplex Master and a Redding T7 both are big presses.

Re: Reloading Press
Camel, do you want that Lee Press back? If not, perhaps it's what Missed needsCamel wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2017 2:33 pmSuper Simplex will do all you ask for,a no need to spend big bucks on them, generally can be bought second hand for under a hundred.

Re: Reloading Press
RCBS rockchucker does nearly everything
RCBS Partner press has the universal decapping die in it and does that and only that. I was a because I could thing when I had some cash and saw one cheap. Might have added to a Sinclair order

Re: Reloading Press
Raven, no thanks, that was definitely a one way transaction, I have an RCBS rockchucker press here to replace the T7 if I do get rid of it.

Re: Reloading Press
Not going to buy more dies so a Simpleplex would not make it viable.
Thanks for the suggestion Raven but have your heard the term where the sun don`t shine.
I might have to give Luke a call and see what his pricing is Scott.

Re: Reloading Press
You can use a wilson inline seater on one of the Harrels press too. There is a spot on the side for them.
Re: Reloading Press
Lee Classic Cast (have 2), and an inline.

Re: Reloading Press
You know me...just started reloading....so I have the basic Lee Breech Lock presses.
Despite some initial skepticism about the accuracy of those breech locks holding accuracy after each die change I was pleasantly surprised that they really do hold their setting well. Downside is you need to buy breech lock rings for each die you use...but they are reasonably priced.
I'm sure I'll upgrade to a cast press at a later stage
