I bought this Lee Hand Press kit over a year ago with a Cabela's gift card that my daughter gave me. Thought it might come in handy at some time. I set it on the shelf and promptly forgot about it.
I found it a couple of days ago. It was 108° in the garage and I wanted to load up some 45 Colt. Thought it might be nice to do a little work in the air conditioning sitting down
. Never did that before in my 40 yrs of handloading.
Sized and expanded a batch of 50 with this little tool and it worked great! Then used the RCBS hand priming tool to prime them.
All that was left to do outside was throw the powder and seat/crimp the bullets. No problem.
I have three Dillons and a Rockchucker. This hand press won't replace any of them but it is pretty handy and made the process a little more enjoyable.
Did another batch tonight. My back and feet could get used to this .
