Handpress on the go
my hand press and everything but components fit nicely in a fat 50 cal can works great while sitting around after a day of being the the woods chasing MR. and MRS. whitetail.

Re: Handpress on the go
I've got 2 handpresses, one with and one without the lock ring eliminator bushings. I don't use mine as much as I use to but I ain't giving the newer modal away either.

Re: Handpress on the go
I got mine several years ago when I was "between" places to reload. I kept it along with a couple die sets and a few bullets and primers in a plastic shoe box under my bed. Other components were in my closet next to my skivvies...

No wonder it smelled like you were shooting BP. So

Re: Handpress on the go
I've been using the same "Breach Lock" Hand Press for the last 7 years of my short 8 years of re-loading for 6 different calibers. Just a wild guess, I've probably loaded only 7-8 thousand rounds on it ... but it's held up well. My original plan was to only use it for a year, maybe two, then move up another step. After figuring out the Hand Press would do anything I loaded just as well as the bench mounted presses all my buddies used, I decided to hold out for another couple of years. The medical/financial whack in 2016 changed my plans drastically, so retirement at 65 (this year) was out of the question. With the business still in operation for the next 4-5 years, I can't give up the wanted "reloading space" to set up all the stuff I'd like to get. From a rational point of view, the Hand Press set-up is capable of doing all I can do, or afford to do.
Mr. Lee did a really fine job producing the hand press. I need to get another one just to have as a back-up
