Modulo Masterpiece Portable Press — Pride of Italy
Credit this find to ace British benchrest shooter Vince Bottomley, United Kingdom 1K record-holder and publisher of the excellent Precision Rifle website.
Vince writes: “This beautiful compact press is made by an Italian company, BCM Europearms, run by Vittorio Taveggia. Vittorio builds some superb rifles but he also has a very useful range of accessories for accuracy aficionados. I’m sure you’ll be interested in Vittorio’s loading press — this is offered in several configurations for normal dies, Wilson-style hand-dies, or both. The press is superbly made. Vittorio also crafts very nice Weaver-style rings and bases. Again they are beautifully-finished and very strong. Vittorio also makes stocks and actions. At present, there is no UK importer for the press, but there could be very soon. If you are at all interested in any of the products please drop me an e-mail at vinceb [at] 6ppc.fsnet.co.uk and I’ll pass your interest onto the ‘soon to be’ UK importer.” The top photo shows the original Modulo Masterpiece version, which had three stations. There are other versions, as seen in the photo below.
Editor’s note: We don’t know of a US importer, but you can contact Vittorio directly. Information for his company in Torino, Italy is found on the BCM Europearms website. Send email to: info [at] info@bcmeuropearms.it.

I made a search for info on this press and found a shooter in US who has one. He told me that it is bigger than appears on photos… So I ended up with a Harrel press.
The BCM press, as this shooter in US pointed, is to heavy and big (he reload a .300 Wby on it!) to bring and load on the shooting range.
Also, a friend of mine contacted them and the price was about 350 Euros.
Anybody else here believe in “Buy American?”
The newer RCBS “Rockchucker” press, the 1500 Chargemaster, etc(?), are being made in China. That’s the main reason I have neither.
i am interested in your press need contact info. ?
“The top photo shows the original Modulo Masterpiece version, which had three stations.”
Appears to be the same two-station unit shown in the bottom picture – model on the left.
My error – the left position/station is for Wilson/arbor-press style dies.
