Thread: Reloading press

I have a JR3. Nice press but not grunty like the compound linkage models.
Longest ammo I have reloaded was 7x57.
No trouble full length sizing 284W.
Gap between top of shellholder and the underside of the die thread is ~ 82mm.
The one on TM looks to be quite good. Have seen JR3's listed that were covered in rust.
The plastic primer tray on them is usually kaput. That one looks OK.

For what you are loading you would be better off with a larger press.
