    WTB or trade inexpensive single stage press

    I知 looking for a single stage press. Nothing fancy but not a hand press (got one of those). I知 wanting to set up a dedicated hardness testing station down in shop where I smelt large amounts of lead (mostly range scrap). I want to test my ingots. And then compile what needs to be added to get acceptable BHN. A basic Lee press would be great. I have lots of brass, a few boolits, a hand press and maybe a few other things I could trade. I would rather trade!

    Thanks.

    I'd sell you mine but it is a Tru-Line Jr. It takes the smaller diameter dies. I'm pretty sure you need the new(well, new for us old guys) style 7/8-14 threaded press.

    ShootR, thanks for the plug!

    I have a basic Lee C style press that could use a new home. Please PM me. If you don’t have any brass that I can use, you can have it for the price of shipping.
