Thread: Reloading Presses

This is a Redding T7.

I like it, but the handle didn't sit quite where I wanted it to.

I wanted it raked forward to stop where it felt natural for for my arm, so it felt less awkward.

I took the original handles plus a length of wire bent to the shape I wanted to an Engineer and asked him to make me a handle.

He added the nylon grip at the end of the bar.

Works well, just pivots a bit unless done up really tight.

I may have to take it back and have something welded to the bottom to stop it moving sideways.

I like it, been thinking of doing something similar with my press. Have you seen the 1's that Inline Fabrication make?

Hadn't seen them, but they look even better.

In part it came from using a lee handle with a roller, that I wished was raked forward. Then I thought why not get one bent to my specifications.

My one works ok, just have to hold the handle lightly and let it slip through my fingers a little with each cycle if doing hundreds of rounds, otherwise my hand gets a bit sore.
