Default That's a good idea....

That's a good idea but part of the problem now is the long motion to operate the lever for every operation.

What I was thinking about doing was getting a shorter lever made. I would use the long one for sizing and the short one for everything else that doesn't require so much force. Flaring, bullet seating, crimping and such.

I can hold the handle closer to the press but my hand eventually finds its way back to the knob. If I had a short lever w/ a knob, my hand would more naturally sit on the end of the short lever.
