Portable Reloading Press

[Mistered]

a loose fit between the receiver and the shaft inserted will introduce play that may or may not prove to be worrisome

The more I think about it the less of a problem it will be.
The effort of the press will be forward and DOWN and the receiver tube will 'cant' forward and movement will most likely be negligible.

I may go 'experiment' with this and report on it later.

looking forward to hearing what your find

Originally I believe you stated you wanted something to take to the range is that correct? While this thread has continued I now get the picture you want it to go along with you in the RV. The idea for the hitch is no doubt the most solid of any thats been discussed. But for me that stand would be the way I would go because the weather wouldnt control whether I reload or not. You could reload inside the RV.

I did a little 'mockup' with some receiver tube.
Conclusion is no problems and the little bit of side to side movement will never be noticed unless you actually moved the press side to side.
Using the press normally it will be nearly as solid as mounted on a bench.

Hey Jim, the 300 WBY resizing issue is solved by carrying presized cases. Do that at home, carry what you need with you.

10-4 that's most certainly true of our 300 WBY .... its not our only big boomer and the same would be true for all of them as well .... my idea is to come up with a portable operation capable of loading all of our ammo ....that doesn't change the fact that we make every effort to leave with a good bit more ammo that we will burn .... if I can come up with a rig capable of loading 300 WBY's, the equipment will handle every caliber we have

I'm still mentally working my way through a portable reloading setup .... does anyone have any experience using a Lee Perfect Powder Measure ===> https://www.cabelas.com/product/Lee-Per ... s?slotId=6 .... it has an attractive price point and 4 Star ratings on both Cabela's and Amazon

I have one and use it with Universal, Unique, and HP-38. It's very consistent with those powders, only varying about .1 grs, and I weigh every 10th round on my digital scale just to be sure. I'm also careful to work it exactly the same way for each throw; tapping the side twice after the powder drops and again after it is thrown. It doesn't work well with H110 because it flows like water and leaks freely from the PPM. I use a homemade dipper for that powder.

info most certainly appreciated ..... good to hear it works well with Unique .... not so good to hear it doesn't do well with H110 ..... they are the two powders we use the most .... our decades old RCBS handles both well .... may have to spend the extra money and buy another RCBS
