I’m at the infancy stage of the project now. So, if any of the reloading gurus have any features or suggestions that may be beneficial to the design lets hear them. I’ll post pictures throughout the machining process.

Manage to get the arms done today. Hopefully next week I can get some more machine time.

Off to chase chrome next week. Hopefully I can nock another chunk out of the project third week of March.

Bushcraft ...... I think I may call this one Area 51 😉
Finished the turret today. Next week on to the easy stuff, hopefully.

After first partial assembly I had to do an engineering change. The original arms which were just a radius didn’t allow the press to sit on the table enough. The new S design moved the press an 1.5” further onto the bench.
Since the last post I managed to make the brass bushing, shafts (bearings) and alignment pin. Shaft work and a handle are up next. Unfortunately work has picked up so I’m not sure when I’ll get to work on it again.

I was sent the wrong shaft. The one I order was supposed to be nitrided and soft in the middle. It would have allowed for easier machining for the case holder. But oh no, I got the shaft, they sent me a through hardened shaft which is 62-63 Rockwell. In terms of hardness? Well, you can’t even touch it with a high speed steel drill bits.
I’m going back to the drawing board to figure out a different style/custom case holder.
It’s getting close. A few more items: finishing the shaft and putting a hole in it for decapping, a case holder, and base plate, I hope?
The handle looks like it’s going to be in the way, which will be the last item to be addressed.

The original handle was going to be an issue so a quick an easy modification was in order. Cut, grind and weld.
Currently the press is finished and full functioning. I’ve decapped a 100 rounds and did some shoulder bumping just for testing purpopses.
