Lee Hand Press / .338 LM

[bobz]

Good morning everyone,

I'm considering picking up a Savage 110 BA in 338LM form, and was wondering if a Lee Hand Press could handle a 338LM. I've been spending a lot of time in hotels lately and this seems like it would help drown the misery.

Andy advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it will handle it, but it might barely, another thing to think about (assuming that it'll even work) is the effort, big magnums take some work to size.

I'd think more about a quality single stage mounted on something that can be c clamped to a table in the hotel

+ 1 , that is a good way to go , i do that myself when i want to drag a press to the range.

I dont think the hand press will provide enough force to f/l size brass ( especially a monster case like that) If you were only neck sizing and seating then maybe. But at some point you would need to push your shoulders back so you would need something tougher.
