Lee Loader

This press is an excellent little work horse. Priming with the Lee Auto Prime II, depriming and sizing bullets. It's definitely worth the more to me than it cost.
I have mine supported by 3 3in pipe couplings directly under the bench mounting holes in the frame to keep it off the surface of the bench so the 3 mounting bolts go through the pipe couplings and through the bench and secured below the bench surface. (There are drawers under this bench that prevent just drilling a hole for spent primer to fall through.) I keep a little tin tray under this opening created by the pipe couplings to catch the primers.

The only short coming of this little press is getting all the spent primers to go into the slot in the frame. After awhile these strays jam up against the frame and ram to the point they require digging out. If any of you geniuses have a fix please post it.

I work away from home and stay in a small apartment . I bought the Reloader press to set up an inexpensive loading station here. I simply drilled holes in the kitchen table (try doing that at home and keep the wife happy!) And mounted the press with a small jar mounted to the underside of the table to catch the primers. Works great.

I like this setup better than the hand press I bought for the same purpose. I have been impressed with this little press. I use it more than any of my others, if for no other reason than weekday evenings after work are always free! With reviews I had read I did not expect much, but in my opinion the reviews were wrong. I recently used the press to form a bunch of 223 cases to 300 blackout. No problems whatsoever!

Well, I've personally seen a Reloader press that was bent from a "C"-shape to some morphed "J"-shape while reforming of rifle cases. It is a nice little press (I own one by myself, basically to reform military primer pockets), but it has its limits.

I would like it a lot better if it was a breach lock like my Breech Lock Challenger or the Hand Press.

The newer hand presses have the breach lock feature. Unfortunately it can't be retrofitted without exchancing basically the whole press.

Maybe I should have said the "new" hand press because it hasn't been that long since the change.

I did see a post somewhere where a guy had mounted blocks under his C press so the primers fell right through the press body. There was an open cavity under the body and he just brushed them out as needed. Seems like it would work.

Better late than never I guess but as said above I plan on putting my "C" press on wooden spacers with a catch tray under it. I know it's an extra step but I have been depriming and tumbling before loading on my 3 and 4 hole presses to cut down on all the gunk getting in the ram. This is the one I spotted on the net.
