I've been using the same old RCBS rock chucker for the best part of twenty years and it's still doing it's job. It sounds like you fella's spend more time faffing around than you do actually shooting the stuff you make.

I haven't seen the press ordered yet but would have rather spent my daughter's hard earned inheritance with you than a large supplier. Mind you, those F types shell out stupid amounts for even basic kit
This is not an Arbor press, far from it in fact. This is a C Press predominantly constructed of hard aluminium and stainless with ground steel rams and bushings.

Missed this, we are working today.
The thing about reloading presses is there are only so many designs you can adopt, be it Ring Frame or Toggle or C Frame or something else so in that respect design concepts are going to be limited however there are many more features that can be added or changed.

I should never have started this thread. Too many possibilities and ideas are popping into my head and i've got the urge to boot up the CAD program.
I could waste days on this bloody thing.

Shooting, firearms, ammunition, hand loading.
Its all about re-inventing the wheel.
