ad-closed Lee hand held press

Does anyone have a lee hand held press they would want to part with?

There are several listed on eBay for around $45. I have one and it's terrific for taking away from the bench.

What kind of leverage can you get. I've always wondered that about them.

Mine works well on handgun cartridges, straight-wall rifle cartridges, etc. But it wouldn't work on a big magnum cartridge, at least not with me working it!  I've not used it on anything bigger than 30-carbine. I think that 30-06 / 308 would be pushing it.

If needed you can clamp the press in a vise and use the handle. It’s strong enough to size rifle cartridges if you choose to.

Many folks use them at the range to work up loads so seat and crimp your sized and primed brass.

Great for deprime brass in front of the TV set !
