Arbor press?

I might have to try that as i was going to try using a drill press like that for neck turning as well .
 
I was going to buy a k&m for my wilson dies, then i also needed to remount my rcbs jr2 press to my reloading table and stumbled upon this, works very very well. 1568499538103312256476779783904.jpg 15684996998574477348745283923620.jpg 15684997882823823449014381729978.jpg .

and it put my press at a excellent height for sitting on my stool and going to work.
 
I'm not saying they aren't excellent presses and very well made, but at the end of the day all you really need is something that will press a bullet into a case...if you bought a purpose designed press from some reloading company then you probably paid somewhere around 4 times what you could have had one from Enco or Harbor Freight for. I bought a big ass Enco for probably way less than one of those rinky-dink reloading ones and it is big enough to use for "other things" that need a shove. Again, not really knocking them, if you feel like you gotta have one then buy it. Yes they are pretty, they are expensive but they wont do as much as mine.

Anyone who wants to read it.....and like absolutely every word I have ever typed or spoke in my life, it is theirs to either like or get over...or not. All that said, I will explain if you will permit me.
Please don't take the post personal...I assure you it was not meant to be just as it was not directed to any one person. Simple statement of fact.
 
One fella awhile back had a jeweler press that was very cool for seating Bullets
 
The cheapest is your body weight with maybe a block of wood between your palm and the top of the die. Next is a rubber mallet. We are not talking about a bunch of force when it comes to seating bullets unless something is going wrong or you have a special need for crazy psi.

I use a K&M most of the time. For small seating adjustments at the range I just lean on the top of the die.

K & M Precision
 
I like the way my k&m sits on my bench, out of the way except when needed. Like picking up a trophy to use/move. No muss no fuss no upkeep ....
