Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Do presses wear out?

Exactly.

Because of what I do, I have two benches with several presses on each. Not all of them were bought new.

On my portable bench, I've got a Lee 2001 press (O press), a Lee C press and a Redding Boss.

On my workshop bench, I've got a Rockchucker, a Boss, a Corbin Series II and two RCEco Walnut Hill presses. The Corbin and RCEco were purchased to make bullets, but are precision reloading presses as well. Very close tolerances.

Each has its purpose. Despite the fact that I do not need any other presses, I still keep an eye out at gun shows for presses and associated equipment. To encourage others to reload, I have given away lots of gear over the years. Why not? When it's cheap, spread the love.

Pass on the skills of reloading and don't buy into paying huge bux for 20 cartridges because they have Sierra or Barnes bullets on top. They end up better shooters with superior components.

Give a man some cartridges and he shoots for a day. Teach a man to reload and he shoots for a lifetime.
