Description

With a heavy duty, fully ambidextrous, cast iron frame, the Iron Press is built to be the heaviest, most rigid press in its class. Tight tolerances in manufacture and assembly combine to provide consistency and precision that will deliver match accurate ammunition, round-after-round, year-after-year. The available gravity fed Automatic Priming System, combined with the Accessory Mounting Deck, increases reloading efficiency by allowing more processes to occur simultaneously. This heavyweight Iron Press is the first of its kind to allow the ability to deprime, pause and remove the case to chamfer & deburr etc., then replace and prime. The Accessory Mounting Deck provides the hand loader with many options for quick access to items such as trays for bullets or cases, chamfer and deburr tools, case neck brushes, primer pocket cleaners and many more. Further ease of use comes from exclusive features such as a spring assist 1 1/8” solid steel ram and the patented Shell Holder Platform. And, as with all Hornady metallic reloading presses, the Iron Press comes with the patented Lock-N-Load® bushing system that makes changeovers lightning fast.

Q: Does it include dies?
