Stick to the Lyman 310 fluffy.

Ya can sit around the campfire in ya communal backyard, doing a reet proppa Blazin Saddles themed reloading session.

I have a fondness for reloading on hand presses, the Lyman 310 was favourite amongst the old deer stalkers I had the privilege to be with and learn from in my youth.
I have most of the hand presses listed but my all time favourite has to be the Huntington Compac.

Thanks Colin. No, that's not the one I'm after. I'm looking for the one that's not mounted. Like nut crackers...

It started off as a "what alternatives are out there" thread, which I suppose has developed....
