New (to me) reloading press from Italy

[Kurz]

All I can say is that this one slipped by me for some reason.

The Talon Advanced is a 3-column press with capacity of up to .50 BMG using threaded adapters and interchangeable shell holders. I found a street price including VAT of $455.00 USD.

The Micron on the right has a street price of $382.00 USD including VAT.

Dolphin in the UK is the exporter but I found an Italian distributor who ships to the US with the prices above which are lower than the retail list quoted by Dolphin.

Very nice lookin presses. Maybe you can do a review. Check consistency’s.

Looks pretty sturdy. Too bad (for most of us) their website is not in English.

I would if I can get the order together and make sure of the paperwork and delivery. I have to have some sort of exchange with shop which advertises U.S. sales to get all the 'i' s dotted and the 't' s crossed.

The reality is that these presses are about 1/2 the price of the large Prazipress. There is a sort of half serious review on LinkedIN. It's not very interesting unfortunately.

Here's a little one in English...

Why would you pay VAT if your not in England. They have papers to sell out of country without paying vat.

 

[Kurz]

You wouldn't and yes I'm aware of that we don't pay VAT but that's what their pricing includes so I let it ride without trying to determine what to subtract to get the street price. It's Saturday morning here and late Saturday afternoon there and I'm not interested in placing an overseas phone call right this minute.

They look great.
Wonder how factory support is?
After RCBS support anything I know will pale in comparison.

I believe you get dies for them that will churn out fettuccini and tagliatelle pasta when you're not loading cartridges with them.

Kidding...

the one on the right looks real sturdy...

And I thought the only thing from Modena was balsamic vinegar...

There are a handful of guy's from Italy making reloading presses and also bullet making presses. Roberto Lenzi is one of them.

Lenzi Large Press

Lenzi Small Press

While drastically different in design and style, in general, the Lenzi presses are in the same price range as the Prazipresses. The Lenzi presses are currently sold through several outlets. The large press is by 'request only' which means it's built on demand.

My interest in the Talons is the manufacturing methodologies and the pricing in relationship to the ammunition output. It's not like I really need another press right now but the draw is the pricing. With one of these on the bench I could do a side-by-side comparison. (Oh Boy!!!!!)

The reality is that these presses add to the list of products to select from. We get more variety.

. That Talon looks like a great 50 big press for the money. That would be the attraction to me
