$245AUD in aus or the Sinclair one any other suggestions and where to buy supporter of 6mmBR would be good.

The Harrell's and K&M arbors are both excellent. The Harrell's has a handy height adjustment. The K&M uses a Belleville Washer stack on the end of the ram. This can be used with a Dial Caliper to monitor bullet seating effort. I have one and it's great. But, if you need to work with many dies of various heights, then the Harrell's will be more user-friendly. Both Harrell's and K&M have donated products to help with our projects.

Here's a pic of the K&M. The Dial Caliper would fit in the little light blue fixture at the top:

Note: both these presses have limited leverage. You can't normally use them for FL sizing. They are used for neck-sizing and bullet seating.

I take it these are made for Sinclair as it looks exactly like the ones they have.

I used the Sinclair press for several years, no problems at all. I went to several bench rest matches in my area before i bought mine and most of the people at the matches were using the Sinclair.
