[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2994443, member: 94420"] I have the handpress, and it'll work for what you want to do. I inherited it, and it'll reload ammo okay, it doesn't operate the smoothest. I would use a seating die with a micrometer seating stem. Having used the hand press this way in the past, and for what they cost to buy. I'd buy the [URL='https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1013020665?pid=807734']Lee Breach Lock C frame press[/URL], mount it to some 3/4 plywood and use C-clamps to attach it to a shooting bench. If you dont want it attached to the bench a B&D Workmate is a good portable reloading bench. I also have the Lee C press I bought used years ago and use it to decap with a universal die. It operates way smoother than the hand press. I also use a Bald Eagle mini arbor press and Wilson inline dies. This was my preferred method for seating at the range with the Wilson Micrometer die. I now just walk to my bench as I have enough acres to have a 200 yd range on my property. [/QUOTE]
