There's nothing to interfere with handling the case or bullet. My specific question was about leverage, and he said it was the same as the Rockchucker.
The solid ram also looks very similar to the ram on my Hollywood presses, and I've been using one of them for 50 years of handloading, and I bought it used from one of my college professors in 1963. I would say it looked "beefy" enough for reloading.
Hope this helps.

Odd. I had a RCBS rep tell me the huge 2" ram made this strong enough for swaging. Either way, I liked the press.
