Anyone use regular dies as hand dies for bullet seating?

[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1262400, member: 30902"] There are some "hand presses" available that use standard dies. Check on Ebay. [url=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC0.A0.H0.Xhand+reloading+press.TRS0&_nkw=hand+reloading+press&_sacat=0]hand reloading press | eBay[/url] I started loading with an old Lee basic set that used all hand tools including a hammer and the lee powder measures that are small plastic cups on sticks and would load my own in the field while prairie dog hunting while the rifles cooled down. [url=http://leeprecision.com/reloading-kits/lee-loader-rifle/]Lee Loader Rifle - Lee Precision[/url] As long as the wind wasn't blowing too much it worked out pretty well. On windy days I'd sit in the front seat instead of the bed of the truck while handling powder. Fun times. You can also rig up just about any basic single stage press on a 2x6 or 2x8 and affix it with clamps to a shooting bench, same with the powder measures like the RCBS Uniflow or Hornady LNL. Volumetric charge measures aren't as accurate as weighing each load but it is a lot quicker and easier in the field. [/QUOTE]
