I own the new Buchanan hand press with their Hornady LNL die bushing to die locking system. I saw the write up on this and decided to give it a try as I also own an older HDS Compac Press that uses regular 7/8-14 dies and a Lee hand press utilizing their Breech-Lock bushing system. By far this new Buchanan is a big improvement in both mechanical advantage in sizing as well as an included small primer catch bottle,lacking in both the HDS and Lee. The Buchanan is machined aluminum and hardened guide rods with stainless toggle plates. There is no need for a bench when using the Buchanan as all functions are easily performed while sitting and operating off your lap. I utilize an RCBS primer seating die and LNL bushing. Primer seating depth is regulated by the RCBS lock ring attached to a LNL locked bushing for repeatable seating depth.. The added extra accoutrement is a nice Boyt canvas carry bag from Buchanan when purchased in their LNL option press. No issues and I have loaded 500 rounds since three days ago both 45 ACP,.308, and 30-30. FL sizing is simplified with the longer press arms and using your chest as a backstop for retaining your effort in sizing and retracting from your die.

Needs a wider base. Why do a video with brass so hard to size? Who cares about machine gun brass? Size some bolt action brass as a real example.

I looked at the video and noted the demonstrator struggling with this press and it moving all over the place in the process. If you want to struggle with your press – vs mounting it to a bench at the range, like a Harrell, and using the bench to anchor the press – go for it. Seems very unfriendly to me.

That is different. And looks good.
