Lee Breech Lock Hand Press

Who sells the Lee Breech Lock Hand Press locally? Greenwood/South side. Also 9mm Lee dies? I just want to look at it in person.

Thanks.

Perhaps the Outdoorsman, but who knows how much they'll have it marked up. If single stage low volume reloading (ie 5 rounds at a time while at the shooting bench) is what you're looking for, it's about as good as it gets. Not exactly a huge investment.

Yeah, I don't want a huge investment. I might have to spend just a bit more to make a few hundred at a time.

It can be done with batch loading and practice. There were definitely INGO members who used a lee hand press to load handgun ammo. 50-100 rounds a night. They could NOT be convinced to try anything else. It's not that it's a terrible solution - its just not where it's strengths lie.

For the same money you could have the little C-press that Lee makes and go a lot faster.

I currently use one and it works fine for loading pistol cases(I don't have any rifle caliber cartridges to reload for). Just got back into reloading and it was the only piece of equipment I kept. If you are loading just a box or two of ammo at a time and don't have room for a full size reloading set-up the little hand press is great. When you get to the point you are shooting hundreds of rounds at a time, you need to get a better set-up or you will be spending all your time loading ammo. When you shoot a lot, you need something like my buddy has. He uses Dillion presses that produce a loaded cartridge with every pull of the handle. He can load 100 .357 cases in less time than I can re-size and remove the old primers on the same number of cases. He can probably have 400-500 loaded in the same time I load 100.

Good little press but is the breech lock version any good?
