Midsouth Shooters Supply is running a big sale right on Lyman’s impressive new Brass Smith line of reloading presses. There are three models, each offering great performance and value for its class. You can save quite a bit of cash with this Midsouth Lyman Press sale. If you haven’t tried orange yet, we think you’ll be impressed. The little C-Frame is a steal at $69.99.

Lyman’s New Victory Single Stage Press competes with the RCBS Rock Chucker Press. If you like to prime on a press, this Victory has a priming system that’s much easier to use than the Rock Chucker system. With beefy Cast-Iron construction, strength and leverage is on a par with the Rock Chucker.	With a cast-iron frame, the Ideal C-Frame (open-front) press is stiffer than other small presses in this class. It is an excellent choice as an affordable, secondary press for your loading room, or a press to use at the range.
The new All American 8-Station Turret press sets a new capacity standard in a turret press. You get EIGHT stations, compared to 7 for a Redding turret and 6 for an RCBS turret. Lyman has also included a rear support that increase rigidity, reducing turret vertical displacement during loading. That helps load consistency.	NOTE: Along with the three individual presses, Lyman offers complete reloading kits combining the presses with powder measures, scales, and reloading tools. These kits are also on sale now at Midsouth.

Everyone needs a serious, full-size single-stage press such as the RCBS Rock Chucker for heavy-duty reloading tasks. But’s it’s also wise to have a smaller, more compact press for lighter duties such as decapping (primer removal), neck-sizing, and bullet seating. The new Lyman Brass Smith Ideal press fits that role perfectly, at an affordable price — about $80.00 retail.

With an $80 street price, Lyman’s new C-Frame press is an exceptional value. With beefy cast-iron construction, it is much stiffer than other presses in this compact category. The compound linkage is smooth. The base is big enough to provide good stability. For someone looking for a second press, or a smaller press to take to the range, the new Lyman Ideal may be the smart solution.

Gavin was impressed, finding the Ideal press operated smoothly with plenty of power for most tasks. (We would still use a bigger press with more leverage for heavy case-forming duties). Here is Gavin’s video. The first 7 minutes cover unboxing and assembly. Starting at the 8-minute mark, Gavin uses the Ideal press to load 6.5 Creedmoor cases:
