Overview
Built for straightforward bench work, this single-stage reloader press is suited to tasks like decapping, bullet seating, and bullet sizing. Its C-frame design provides open access around the ram area, while the balance lever is designed to stay clear of your fingers during operation. It accepts standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies and standard Universal Press Shell Holders, and it can be used from either the right or left hand. For reloaders who want a practical press for routine setup or as a dedicated extra station, it offers a simple, functional layout without added priming features.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Single-stage design means it’s built for one operation at a time, so it’s not intended for high-volume progressive loading.
- The press accepts standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies and standard Universal Press Shell Holders, so it’s not a fit for setups that rely on die bushings.
- It is shown mounted to the Lee Bench Plate system, which is sold separately, so bench setup may require an additional accessory.
- Priming feature is not included, so priming must be handled with a separate tool or step.
