? about roller handles from inline fab. for LNL ap

[egd]

I'm looking at the ERGO short roller handle from them but I have a question. If you're using it can you sit with the press between your legs and operate the press? It would be easier for me to be able to watch the powder level in the case as it comes around if I could be closer to the press and slightly over it. I think this roller handle would enable that.
It would be nice too if anyone knows of a video of this handle on the press in action. Just in case...
Oh, don't bother suggesting I stand. That would quickly take the fun out of reloading for me.
Thanks

I sit on an adjustable height stool for reloading. Sometimes I stand, but not usually. I'm right handed and I find it most comfortable to have the press lined up with my right leg.

I have the Ergo handles on both my LnL and Dillon presses.

I have a leg of my bench (I'm in a tight space) right under the press. My leg has to go on one side or the other of the press and that leg. If I could sit with my right leg on the right side of the press I can get close where it's easier to see the powder and also more comfortable. The factory handle comes down too far as it is. I'm hoping the ergo handle angle will work better and pass on the inside of my right leg.

I have the Inline Fabrication long ergo handle on my LnL press and love it. I sit on a stool when loading, and the handle is the perfect length for me. I'm 6'1", and my arms are fairly long, but this handle really took some of the downward reach out of the process and made it more enjoyable.

I have the RCBS Lockout Die set up right after the powder measure, but I still look inside the cases out of habit. I don't find it a problem at all with the long ergo handle.

Another addition that I very highly recommend is the LED light strip that goes inside the press opening. That really helps with being able to see everything.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Fred. You made me go over and sit at the press a while and try to imagine the differences in the two handles. I think I'll still go with the short one though. Although I'm 6'5" so I don't know if it would make that much difference.

Long handle and set to the right works great. I've had one for several years and recommend it.

I have to sit off to the left when I use mine,( short ergo handle on LNL). My LNL is bench mounted versus the inline fab mount.

I use the medium handle, and I stand at a very tall bench. Took the kink out of my back and shoulder because I didnt need to drop my shoulder on every stroke.

Best $50 I spent on my press though. I even snapped the handle off one time. A quick email and they sent me a new one for notta. Inline gets a thumbs up from me.

I sit with the press at eye level and have the short ERGO roller handle which is perfect. The long handle would be too high but if my press were any lower than eye level I think it would be the better choice.

How I sit the powder measure is at my eye level.
I just ordered the short ergo handle last night.
