Working a press left handed

[AWS]

Lefty, my dad was left handed and I've never seen a person cut off so many circle saw cords. He was a really good carpenter but hard on saw cords.

He was pretty handy with a right bolt, he shot them so many years that when I offered to buy him a lefty he chose a right handed bolt.

I'm a lefty who shoots right handed with a rifle and left handed with a pistol. I pull the handle on my single stage press with my left hand which is on the left side of my bench.....but, when I load on my Dillon (which is on the right side of my bench) the handle is pulled with my right hand and the turret rotated by my left hand.

As a life long lefty I know that we live in a right handed world.....I do think that being left handed makes (forces) you more adaptable....?

Does your press not have the ability to move the handle to the left side? My Rock Chucker can, I thought all of them could.

I own one of each. My first was the right handed only option model. The second, that I bought here not too long ago, was the first time I noticed it had dual mount points for the handle. Thought they were all right handed for awhile.

I’m right handed and run my Rockchucker with my left hand so my dominant had is free to the things that require more dexterity. Working my Chargemaster, the funnel, placing bullets in case mouths, etc.
No issues to speak of. I do it all sitting down. The handle moves to the left side of the press.

I'm with Walt also. Been using that method for about 42 + years.

Left handed people are in their right mind, and they don't have to be shooters.
I operate my Rockchucker with my right hand and feed the shells with my left hand. Never give it a second thought.
I also have a Savage Model 12 "lefty" repeater action mounted in a right hand thumb hole BR style stock. Right hand stays in the thumb hole for stock control and my free left hand feeds ammo and works the bolt.
Pretty hard to go back to shooting a right hand rifles after getting use to NOT taking my right hand off the stock.

You drive around in a left handed automobile and wonder how he will operate a supposedly backward press? Not an issue.

(Henry Ford being in his right mind is one of the most amusing items in a history book.)
