One more note: The BPM Hand Press has been picked up by Creedmoor Sports as of this week. Creedmoor Sports is your go to outlet for all things related to Competitive Target Shooting and National Match. I am pretty stoked about the partnership.
Also since the Election I have sold 11 of these tools in the last 3 weeks!!! For this last year it has been more like 1-2 a month!!! So people are starting to loosen up with the money in anticipation of the upcoming Economic Boom.

Creedmoor Sports' website shows that the press is out of stock.
I use a Lee hand press with a decapping die at the range to decap black powder cartridges before dropping them into container for a dish soap/water soak on the long drive home.
It's easier than using a Lee decapper punch and a hammer!
For me, there's no need for an expensive boutique press for a simple chore like that.
What fgd135 said
I use mine strictly for decapping 44WCF brass at the range before dumping them in a plastic jar of "moose milk". I modified mine by making a downward sloping hole/ramp at the bottom of the primer catcher. Every spent primer drops right out. No need to pull the shell holder and dump it while decapping 50 to 100 cases.
This is when shooting black powder, which is most of my shooting with this cartridge.
Moose Milk = Black powder solvent. About one finger of Ballistol in a gallon jug then fill with distilled water.
