Lee Hand press

[abunaitoo]

I need some help with an experiment.
Looking for some measurements off a Lee Hand press.
Looking for:
the length and diameter of the ram.
the length of the ram opening.

The Breech Lock Hand Press is a full size reloading press that tips the scale at a mere 1 3/4 pounds. Overall product length is 11.5".
Maximum overall length this reloading press can accept is 3.650 inches.

from the looks of the picture the ram is the same size as a shell holder
which mine measure 0.825" or a little under

From the pictures on the Lee site, it looks like the ram for the hand press is the same as for the single stage.
I have a bunch of single stage presses, but no hand press to compare.
The two links have the same part number.
They don't have a listing for the ram on the single stage.
Ram on the hand press is #HP2503.
If the rams are the same, I would think the opening on the both of them would be the same.

I was thinking about it, and maybe it would be easier if the question was.....
Is the ram from the hand press the same as the bench press????

I have both. I don't believe they are the same. For one thing, the hand press collects primers in the ram. The small C press has a slot milled into the ram which directs primers into the base.

I have the older, pre breech lock model. Diameter of the ram is 0.819 using my harbor freight chineese digital caliper. The hole under the shell holder is about 2 1/2 inches deep. Overall length of the cylinder is 5 7/8 inches using mama's yardstick.

Thanks to all.
I'm guessing the rams are a different part number.
They maybe the same size.
I think I've got enough information.
Thank you.
