Question from the ignorant.
What is the purpose of an arbor press? From the conversation it appears as if it's used primary for bullet seating. How/why is it superior or preferred over a regular single stage?

They're generally used with dies like these which often allow for assembling really straight cartridges. ![[Linked Image]](http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/wilsondie3x350.jpg) Very portable for loading at the range, etc.

Wow... is the whole cartridge pressed together in one shot? Fire formed case, powder, bullet then pressed? I just went to YouTube and there it was. I had never seen this and I am now enlightened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXZyaZ2D38s
