Nice looking press, but I'm still left wondering the full purpose of the design? Does the upper ram even have a shell holder?
By the way - I have that same machinist hammer I made back in high school metal shop, although mine is a bit worse for wear after 40+ years of use.
Good evening;
This press has been developed to calibrate clean cartridges.
The purpose of the project is to calibrate the cartridges completely, because in the ammunition reloading presses the cartridge enters and leaves the matrix and leaves a part of the cartridge that does not calibrate.
The drive lever is large due to too much force required to pass the cartridge; in the end has an aluminum ball.
The hammer was made recently by my daughter, it's hers, mine is well spent also done in 2004.
