    Lee Press Dimensions Needed

    Working on the Easy To Build Gas Check Maker posted on the forum and need some dimensions for a Lee Reloader Press (C-Frame). I believe the design is optimized for this press, but I have others.

    Need the thickness of the head (the threaded part).

    Need the depth from the top of the head to the top of the ram when at the top of the stroke.

    Many thanks for someone who has a spare minute to measure and post.

    Need the thickness of the head (the threaded part). - 1.185" at top reinforcing ring, 1.018" mid way, 1.160" at bottom ring.

    Need the depth from the top of the head to the top of the ram when at the top of the stroke. - 1.480"

    These are measured on an old non breech lock press.

    Thank you very much DaveF! I appreciate it.

    Looks like there is very only about .300 clearance from the underside of the head to the top of the ram.

    OK, onward with the presses I already have.
