Lookin for a good press for core seating

Remy, this is what we did in Italy to have something better that the usual modified press:all parts are machined from solid metal, the piston diameter of 30mm slides on brass bushings; the pivots of the connecting rods of 12mm diameter are hardened and slide on hardened bushings. All the tolerances are close to zero.

Alberto, Nice looking press. What kind of "metal" did you use ?

Hi George, thank you) If I'm not wrong we use C40 steel; I will tell you for sure in the next days as this topic was a choice of the guy who machined them. The piston is chrome steel. They are common presses, just everything is made to be strong and accurated.

They do a very good job: of course I would like to add a micrometric adjustment as your horizontal press have…something very useful when you wanna make a very small adjustment of the die. Everything is fine and I'm getting ready to fly to SS: hope this year I can shoot my bullets. Hope everything is fine about too.
