The Lyman Brass-Smith ideal press is a robust and compact reloading press, ideal for both beginners and seasoned reloaders seeking precision. Its compact design conserves bench space without compromising on durability, featuring a cast iron frame and steel components. The press is equipped with compound linkage for optimal leverage, a 1 inches diameter ram, and a 3-7/8 inches press opening, accommodating all pistol calibers and rifle cartridges up to 3.70 inches in loaded length. The central handle position allows for easy ambidextrous use, complemented by a comfortable ball handle. The press is compatible with all 7/8-14 thread dies and standard shell holders, ensuring versatility and precision. It serves as an excellent auxiliary press for specific operations separate from a main press. The extra-large 8-station turret, crafted from heavy-duty cast iron, can hold two complete 4-die sets or up to four 2-die sets, making it the largest available. The turret is easily removable, simplifying the process of swapping turrets. The rigid cast iron frame houses a 1 inches diameter ram and compound linkage, capable of handling even the longest rifle cartridges. The press features a newly designed straight line primer feed, which is reliable and easy to use. For added safety, the primer feed includes a heavy steel shield surrounding the primer tubes. The comfortable ball handle can be positioned for right or left-hand use, and the press is designed to work with any standard 7/8-14 thread dies and accepts standard shell holders.
