    "We're gonna need a bigger press..."

    Hey guys just after recommendations for a press suitable for loading long action rounds.

    I'm currently using a RCBS JR3 which works awesome for 308 and 7mm08 but it's a bit tight when loading the longer stuff like 270 and borderline with the 7mm rem mag.

    I'm looking at the mid to lower end price wise, the likes of Hornady lock n load being at the upper limit as I don't want to spend a fortune, mainly because I don't have one to part with

    Anyone using a Lee breech lock Challenger or similar with good results in this type of scenario?

    Wait for a decent second hand press to come up on here or trademe. This might even do it: https://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/hun...a016c95a54-004
