A new press coming to market

Short Action Customs has been teasing this in advance of Shot Show. More details are supposed to come on Tuesday. It looks to be a single stage press.

Hey and it fills that “exorbitantly priced and unnecessarily limited use” niche.

Is that another co-ax copy. Only cooler looking?

A real estate developer I used to know told me, “Some people are born to money and learn only how to spend it. Other people are born to money and learn only how to make more. Do you know what those people who make money end up doing later in life?”
To which I answered, “Twenty-to-life for counterfeiting?”

If it’s in someone else’s price range, and on their wish list, more power to them.

Looks kinda like C-H "H" type press? https://www.chtoolanddie.com/products/presses/444

Pricey. They will have to explain very well to me how it is better than my Co-Ax for me to come off that $$.

Looks like the basic fundamentals are similar. Has an interesting handle configuration.

A solid company expanding there available options.... I'm all for it, even if I can't buy one....

I'm sure it's a great press. It better be.
But when I'm shelling out $775, I'm looking at rifles, not presses.
If my old RCBS starts producing sub-par ammo, I'll shop for a press.............but it still won't be that one.

Will it be better than my LeeAPP???

If you build a better mouse trap . . . There are those who will pay for quality products. I don’t see it as extravagant for those who need more precision. If it delivers results, then price becomes a consideration, but not an obstacle. We’ll see how it goes. After reading reviews, they make great things.

Nice but not a ""gotta have"for me.

More competition is usually a good thing. However, for the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would spend that much money on one when the current options work extremely well for a fraction of the price.

Could you outline what specifically limits the use of this press?

It’s a little frustrating to see that they built this with enough stroke to load 50BMG, but they only relieved the cut out large enough for 1” diameter dies, and not 1 1/4”. That feels like a missed opportunity - it’s an awesome press for loading up to 338 Lapua based cases, but can’t load the big super magnums only because the dies won’t fit…

My 2 550's work real well! No need to change!

It looks to me like they’re trying to give Area 419 a run for their money.

That was my first thought. It definitely piques my interest. I doubt I’ll spring for one though…

Can't wait for the unboxing BETA testing!

Nice press.

Some drive a BMW and others a Chevrolet. They both will get you where you want to go, but this one will do it with a few more creature comforts.

Bling is always worth more:
