When I use the Lee Loader I use a plastic impact mallet. the kind with shot on the inside of the head [when you shake it you hear it move around] this tends to dampen the the recoil from striking the tool. DonOK the mallet is for use with the Lee Classic Loader, the kit uses an impact system [mallet] rather than a lever for depriming, priming, resizing, and setting the bullet in the case. Hence the reference to the Whack-A-Mo. I think theres a video of it on U-tube. When I first moved to a press I mounted it on the cut out from a kitchen counter [where the sink went] this I then clamped to a table. At one time my reloading was all done in a cab-over camper. and I had; a lee load all II, a Lee O-ring style, that did double duty with an Automator bolted to the top, a MEC 650, and a Lyman turret press the ones I wasn't using fit in the closets and the clamp system allow for easy rotating. My lead pot was where the stove used to be so it even had a hood for ventalation. Any way the point is if I could squeeze all of that into an 8'X10' camper it really doesn't take that much room to set up a simple reloading bench, that would break-down and fit into a closet.
