I am interested in starting to hand load 30-06. I am a complete novice at this (unless banging rimfire cartridges with a Paco tool counts!). For reasons of both space and portability, I am leaning toward the Lee Hand Press. However, the research I’ve done revealed that some people believe it is not well-suited for larger rifle cartridge loading. They say it can be difficult to operate with longer cases.
I’d rather have the portability and “pack-ability” of a hand press, but if it not a good choice for 30-06, I’d be willing to consider something like the Lee “anniversary” set. However, given my limited consumption of 30-06, it would not be permanently attached to my worktable, which is far too cluttered anyway.
I’d appreciate any comments or criticisms of the Lee Hand Press, or suggestions for similar products, if any.
Thanks, Jonathan
