i have never used one, but have seen some in the past. i heard they worked pretty good but were more for a bolt action rifle as they only could neck size the case based on the amount of leverage produced by it's design. hopefully someone who has one or has used one will offer more input.I`ve just started reloading for my 30-30 using the classic lee loader (you know the one you hit with a hammer) doesn`t seem to crimp real well or I`m doing it wrong, I want to stay portable and not be restricted to a bench, anyone use the Lee hand press ?? how do you like it?
