Lee HandPress Bullet Seater?

[338winmag]

So I am out at the range, an easy 35 minute trip one way. I am driving my truck so the mpg is not the greatest either.

I am thinking of bringing test reloads at seating depths starting at lands along with the normal ladder groups. If I find I need additional test reloads. My thinking is instead of driving all the way home and reload additinal test loads, I could just reseat the spares to deisred test seating depth using the Lee HandPress?

Anyone ever use this or have an alternate solution.

Thanks

There is no reason why this won't work. Alternatively, you could build something like this portable press stand: http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=37267/Product/Sinclair_Wooden_Press_Stand.

Nice. I am a pretty good craftsman so I could do this. Remember the big luv vans back in the 70's. Those could house a great workbench for protable reloading. It would be a trick in my truck unless I put a tall cab on the bed.

I am going to try the Lee portable press and give a product review here in the coming weeks.

Thanks Mike

The report should be instructive. I'll be looking forward to your effort.

I have always thought about doing that as well Steve! Seems like a great way to save some time and more importantly, gas money. Scotty

I do have a Lee hand press and I never used it. It has been sitting in a drawer in my bench since 1996. I need to try it.
