    GC seating made easy!

    Took an old C&H press I had and turned it upside down then seated my GC with the LEE sizer die and dropped them in a bucket, you and put the ck on by hand and finish it with the ram all went on straight. Good for dip lubing also.

    I made an above the bench stand for doing just that.
    the nice thing with the Lee classic cast is that the Handle is 100% adjustable,
    to it can be in nearly any postion. More about this is posted in the Special projects section.

    It is a lot faster IMHO! Your set up is a Lincoln Navigator and mine is just a plan old Ford, nice setup.

    Great ideas, one for someone who don't have the means to build a stand, and one who has the equip. to do so.

    For someone who doesn't have the welding skills or the steel to make that stand, why not mount a press upside-down under the bench lip? That would work ALMOST as well.

    To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

    Jim, absolutely that would work, of course you may have to sit on the floor ...Ray

    I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.

    Many older presses such as the Lyman spartan have reversible linkage to extend the ram on the upstroke.Might be really handy for this.
