I was wondering if anyone uses the lee hand press with the lee sizers.
Any info like if it works esaly or is tough to opperate
would be sizing TL358-158SWC that are dropping at an avg of .358
Not sure if I should size to .358 or. 357
Wanting to size do to there being a "fin" at the bottom of tye boolit. Seems the spure plate has a bit of a gap every now and then. Tried to tighten spure plate bolt but it will not move ether way.

thanks for all the help over the last month guys, you all have been informative and warm welcoming.:drinks:

It works, although a bit tedious to do in quantity. Your standards of "tedious" may be different from mine, though.

Do yourself a favor, if you have the Breech-Lock version of the hand press, get a handful of extra quick-change bushings, it really makes this tool more user-friendly.

[edit] I don't know why I didn't think of this before, except I'm stuck in the bench-mounted press paradigm, size upside-down and let the boolits push though and drop into a bowl or something.

I had to go find this by hand.
The search function had a FTF.

Here is a fine thread about Lee hand presses. (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=122342) ;-)
