Overview
Built for handloaders who want a sturdy single-stage press for a wide range of cartridge work, this press is suited to everything from routine loading to case resizing. Its lengthened design helps accommodate today’s longer cartridge designs, while the ambidextrous handle and compound leverage system support smooth, straightforward operation. Heavy-duty cast iron construction, a 1" ram bearing surface, and ductile iron toggle blocks and links reflect a focus on strength and versatility. It also works with RCBS Shotshell dies and accepts an optional RCBS automatic primer feed, though the accessory base plate is not included.
