Bullet Swaging / Reloading Press - Standard Length.


We have looked at a wide range of bullet swaging and reloading press designs and isolated where we believe we can make a better press that is very accurate and repeatable in stroke length, very concentric in operation and have replaceable bushings in all rotating and sliding operations so that the press body is not worn with extended use. Common design features are used across the whole press range and are listed below.

None of our presses, swaging or reloading, rely on the operating handle being travelled to the “cam over” position at the end of stroke or the length of stroke being set by the positioning or adjusting of the die in the press frame by shims or any similar method.

None of our presses rely on leaving the die loose so it can “self-align” as it is used. We feel that “self-alignment” is a compromise situation caused by loose tolerances and poor machining and has no place in a highly accurate press of any sort. All presses utilise a micrometer stop to set and limit the length of stroke of the press ram shaft, resulting in highly accurate and repeatable swaging or reloading. This removes any variation in ram stroke length caused by wear or tolerance clearances in the pivoting pins and arms of the press. Consequently, you do not need to buy precision micrometer adjustable dies for every calibre you own as this feature is built into the press and used with standard dies.

All presses use replaceable Teflon coated bronze bushings in all pivoting or sliding surfaces. All presses use precision high tensile ground and polished steel ram shafts and guide bar shafts. All press models can be changed from right hand operation to left hand operation in a few minutes. All model press frames are high strength aluminium. Other design features apply to individual presses and are shown in the respective press category.
