Portable Reloading Press

[Mistered]

unsure exactly how we will bolt it to the board, may use wingnuts

Looks like it outta work but I think I would bolt it securely with standard nuts.

Hopefully the surface area of the base the wood will be mounted to is large enough to provide enough surface area to support the press!

understood on the surface area .... time will tell .... the only reason for wingnuts is to help speed up the setup and take down .... my hope is to stream line the process to where it requires the fewest possible tools

You will need an anti-rattle device for your receiver, to eliminate the large amount of slop that will otherwise be very annoying. I really like this type, there are many clones, some are just junk. If you plan to actually tow with it, get a name brand:

excellent idea .... thanks for posting about it .... I've been playing with an idea for a thin wedge

In this case I would consider some 'star' knob screws. Larger and greater surface area to grip them with to tighten them down.

that's certainly worth considering

I really like the one in the link you provided and if I was to ever need one to use while towing, I'm pretty certain that is the one I'd go with .... I happened on a much cheaper Hitch Tightener ===> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B9 ... UTF8&psc=1 .... for our use, I believe it will do what we need so I've placed one on order

today I was able to purchase the stainless hardware required to bolt the press to the shelf .... my hope is to be able to make it work with wingnuts .... if not, the nuts will .... it was cold here today, I hope to be able to drill the holes in the shelf and get the portable press assembled .... all of our family's reloading gear is located at one of our son's place .... I've arranged to pick it up all of the items I need to pull the bullets from faulty 300 WBY brass and reload them in good, new brass should be on hand tomorrow .... history has proven to me that if our new portable setup is able to handle reloading 300 WBY, its good to go for everything else we may need it for

this afternoon I used our new Hornady Classic press for the first time .... .... the task was to pull the 19 bullets shown in the picture below .... all are Nosler 30 caliber 180 gr bullets .... 6 with the white tips are Accubonds and the 13 green tips are Ballistic Tips .... no, I have not anchored down press .... so, I had to work it while holding it on my lap .... at its best, pulling bullets isn't an easy operation but its done .... all 19 were in 300 WBY nickel plated brass that was discussed in the "Casing Failure" thread ===> http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... by#p129383 .... all 19 will be reloaded in prefired regular brass for range use

This is what I have except my press is a turret one. Pretty simple and functional. Lee.
