Portable reloading stand??

Yea that's why I plan on loading in the car.

Perfect wind screen and I have a way of leveling and zeroing the scale easier inside the car than on dirt or what ever surface.

The link in my post (#35) has the plans for it.

Awesome!

My buddy is a wood builder so I'll give him she prints and see what he can drum up.

Ended up buying this and cutting off the legs halfway down. Works amazing and very small and portable

EDIT* after rereading posts this might be bigger than what your looking for

I like this idea more than my plow disk stand that I made, and it is cheaper.

A better 'hand press' than the Lee is the Decker (a.k.a. Huntington) hand press. Somewhere last year I saw online where they are still selling new ones. The advantage over the lee is that the force is straight up , not a sideways force because there are 2 handles not one. One handle on each side.

I can reload 30-30 with no sweat at all, or 45-70.

Here's the manual that comes with the press:

You have to center the handles one time to exact center so that the force of the left handle is exactly equal and opposite force of the right handle. This removes all sideways force and the force vector goes straight up, greatly increasing the power. Full length resizing no problem, compared to the Lee.

OK, here it is , and the price, OUCH !!

It was much cheaper back when I bought it , Decker sold out to RCBS I guess and prices skyrocketed.

A while back at San Joaquin Rifle and Pistol there was a guy with a work truck that had a simple mount to hold his press in his vice. It was a sweet setup! Watching him work up a couple loads, take a few shots, then work up another load amazed me. I had my first reloading setup on the way later that week.

Just finished the last clear coat. Mounted the press.




$26.98 and 1 weeks time.

Actually quite happy with how it turned out

Thanks for the idea/prints.


Fun little weekend/day project. Hopefully it holds up.
