Well I suppose I should have done more research. I got my die's and realized I need an arbor press. Any recommendations? If you have one collecting dust feel free to shoot me a pm.
New to Wilson Die's. Arbor press anyone?

You can certainly return them.
I would suggest that you get yourself a arbor press and experience for the first time truly FEELING seating tension. Which is absolutely one of the secrets of tiny groups.

The advantage to the tiny arbor press is that there is no mechanical advantage in seating.
You only need one arbor press. I tried a Wilson seater and an arbor press a year ago, as opposed to a brand where the seater cost about $260 each, and I have bought 3 other Wilson seaters and 0 arbor presses since then, not going back…

Do you have a drill press or a bottle capper to use until you locate a small arbor press?

This is what my customers say. No one ever goes back.
I you have a drill press use it. Have a small bench model works fine for seating with a Wilson.

K&M with the force pack for me but you can get it without forcepack for a little over a hundred bucks I believe. 21st century, Harrells, Sinclair looks nice also as do others.21st can be had with the hydro seater same idea as K&M but hydraulic instead of mechanical bullet seating force measurement. One of them by once cry once situations.I really like being able to feel the seating of the bullets and the K&M forcepack or 21st hydro seater lets me assign a number to the different pressures and yes I can see a difference on paper with the different bullet seating pressures....

I do, was actually thinking that I could make it work.
I think the reason for a Wilson inline seater can be summarized by the word…accuracy . You can feel the difference in seating pressure and look for/solve that problem and there’s no doubt that it’s the best way to insure that the bullet is going straight into the neck of the case so it helps cut down run out. Its disadvantage is speed. Personally I wouldn’t use it to load 100’s of rounds to go prairie dogging .
