Product Description

The Lee breech lock hand press takes all of the great features of the Lee hand held press and adds Lee convenient breech lock system that allows reloaders to quickly change dies without having to readjust dies. A full size hand held reloading press, yet the tool weighs only 1-1/2 lbs and costs so little reloaders will want more than one. No matter how much reloading equipment a reloader has, it is really great to have a portable hand press. No time is wasted mounting a tool to a work bench. When finished reloading, just pack it all away. Specifications: - frame material: aluminum - press type: single stage - priming feature: no - handle location: bottom center - spent primer collection system: no - die size accepted: standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies - die Bushing accepted: yes - frame design: c-frame - frame offset: 0 degrees - frame opening size: 3.5" - die Bushing brand used: Lee breech lock

Customers like the fit of the resizing die. They say it has enough leverage for sizing, it allows them to resize and reload just about anywhere, and it fits standard dies. Customers also mention that the fit and finish is excellent, and is perfectly suited to their needs.

"Very solid. Excellent for deprimning and sizing brass...." Read more

11 customers mention7 positive4 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of changing dies. Some mention that the breech-lock system makes changing die a breeze, making adjustment a once-in-a-while job. However, others say that the new Breech Lock system has complicated the system and made it less easy to use. They also mention that you need a breach lock bushing to install your die.

"...The breech lock seems like a good concept, my initial impressions are a bit mixed...." Read more

"...prepping shells. I gave it only 4 stars because this one does not have the lock for the breach lock collar, like is shown in the photo...." Read more

"...The breech-lock system makes changing dies a breeze as well, making adjustment a once-in-a-while job rather than an every-time job...." Read more

"...It is much the same as the old one except for the quick change locking bushing...." Read more

Nearly Perfect.
5 Stars
Nearly Perfect.
It was perfect. Not much else to say. It works as intended. Update: I thought I'd update my review on this press to show a few photos between the original breech lock hand press and this new version. The old version had the lock pin to lock in the bushing and as other reviewers have stated Lee precision has removed the feature. My opinion of this is that it's a move to make it inconvenient for the user unless he or she has a bushing for each die. Sure they're saving plenty of production costs as well, but once you have that die set and tighten that lock ring on this new version you're not going to take it out without the bushing coming with it! Now you can however remove the bushing from the die and place it back into the press and screw your next die in, but the process will be the same... once the lock ring is tightened you're not going to be able to easily unscrew it without the bushing coming out of the press. Other differences is in the finish. The older version had the standard lee red paint and smooth finish. The new version has a red powder coat finish with the frame being left rough with little pits all in it. The pitted powder coated finish of the newer version is a plus as it actually adds in grip when your hands get sweaty. Btw On my two versions dies set for one press will not interchange in the other without resetting them. I'm not sure which tolerances are different between the two because it can't be seen by eye and I've not taken the time to measure them, but I suspect the ram is slightly longer on one of them. The shellholder slot on my older version is cut a tad loosely as well and it's just enough to allow the ram prime to have a bit of wobble in it, but there are no problems with shellholders in it. I still rate this newer version as a five star portable press, but I spent more than I wanted to in order to put together another portable kit with this newer version as I purchased a dozen breech lock bushings for this particular press due to the hassle of having to take the bushing out and unscrew it from the die in my hands in order to change to the next die. Richard Lee would have never given an ok to remove the lock pin from the press as he based his business decisions on saving the consumer money while offering them a quality product! I certainly wish I still had my old original non breech lock Lee hand presses. All in all this is a great portable press as it's always been just be prepared to spend a little extra money for bushings or lock ring eliminators.
