This topic is currently being discussed on a couple of different threads in the hand tools Forum of the “Cast Boolits” website. Ivan, I’m a little confused about your statement about not being able to FL size any size (even 45-70) cases with the Lee Hand Press. That’s where it shines compared to the Lee Loaders and 310 Tools. It will take any standard 7/8 X 14 you care to use and with a a little extra effort squeeze it right down. It’s a bit slower to use than a standard bench mounted press, but unless you’re doing extreme sizing or case forming, it gets the job done. I used mine out in the campground in my trailer to work with a set of 50-70 dies.

When I saw I was really going to need and use this capability, I upgraded from the Lee Hand Presss to a (now discontinued) HDS Compac hand press to get a nicer tool with better materials. The currently made version of this high end hand press comes from WR Buchanan who can be located via the CB Website.
