If you rest against the sheet, yeah sure but I think it would hurt your hand more.
Instead of cutting the ram I made longer linkage for my Big Boss. I haven't really noticed big increase in leverage but I do like that now I can setup the die lower. This is my swaging press that's why I got the weird bracket made to eject bullets.
In the 2nd photo you can see the ram extended all the way up and still not reaching the top. I got the idea from the thread on this forum about modifying Lee classic cast iron press. I was going to buy Lee but Big Boss was collecting dust for over a year. I got it in the package deal so I decided to try it - wow! What a rock solid press! Decided to use it for swaging, already got my all time favorite MEC press for all around single stage operations.
