All I want for Christmas is a really precise reloading press

Any plans to downsize this for those of us with no real desire to shoot the really big guns?

This monster looks awesome, but is serious overkill.*








*This is coming from the guy who does it all from a Lee Hand press. Flame away :)

With its capability to easily reloading 25 ACP, how much smaller does it need to be?
With the included ram stop and by simply changing the orientation of the handle it has about the same throw as any other press like the Rockchucker. The footprint of bench space it takes up is only 1.5" wider than a Rockchucker yet is far more versatile.

Please don't take this wrong but if you are looking for us to make a cheap hand press, don't hold your breathe as we are not really interested in making beginner or amateur class loading gear as there are enough companies already doing that. We wanted to manufacture a very high quality precision press that had all the features that everyone else missed the mark on.
 
Be sure to patent anything that is better than the others out there. Also be aware of similarities that may already be patented. Looks like a fine piece of equipment.

Patents are expensive and easily thwarted and nearly impossible to enforce in a foreign country. I already investigated this. The added cost would have to passed along to the consumer. I doubt any of the real big players would be interested in making a low profit, labor intensive, small market item like this which further makes the costs of a patent less appealing.

Very True,

It should feel good to create something useful and superior like this product. I hope you sell tons of them!!

I don't use a Rockchucker, so I really don't have an idea as to the size. I haven't had my bench press mounted in years either for that matter, because I'm so fond of how convenient my hand press is. The photos just made this thing look like it was some 2 foot tall 100 pound behemoth.

Wasn't looking for one. I'm quite content with the Lee I picked up years ago for $20. When it craps out, I'll pick another one up.

Clearly, you've done that. It is impressive to say the very least.
 
Wow nice press! I'm having thoughts of replacing my 20 year old Rock Chucker and Redding T7 Turret. $750 is a lot of cake but no doubt it is most superior to anything else.
