## Overview

The Lee Precision 90685 Cast Iron Reloading Hand Press is a lightweight, portable single-stage press featuring an innovative breech lock system for rapid die changes without readjustment. Crafted with a durable aluminum C-frame and designed for precision, it accepts standard 7/8"-14 dies and Lee breech lock bushings, making it ideal for reloaders seeking flexibility and convenience on the go.

## Description

The Lee breech lock hand press takes all of the great features of the Lee hand held press and adds Lee convenient breech lock system that allows reloaders to quickly change dies without having to readjust dies. A full size hand held reloading press, yet the tool weighs only 1-1/2 lbs and costs so little reloaders will want more than one. No matter how much reloading equipment a reloader has, it is really great to have a portable hand press. No time is wasted mounting a tool to a work bench. When finished reloading, just pack it all away. Specifications: - frame material: aluminum - press type: single stage - priming feature: no - handle location: bottom center - spent primer collection system: no - die size accepted: standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies - die Bushing accepted: yes - frame design: c-frame - frame offset: 0 degrees - frame opening size: 3.5" - die Bushing brand used: Lee breech lock

Review: Great handy reloading tool - When I use this it reminds of the Buffalo Hunters and Deer hunters of old reloading 45-70 in the field. Much more viable than a Ideal/Lyman tool of the day, more versatile and useful. I have actually loaded rounds when camping and at the bench as well as at home. With good bullet casing lube it is an ease to use. I have the dies and use it thru the entire process. Universal decapping Then clean BP brass Resize if needed Flat Prime Seat Factory crimp Even the quick trim ez trim with die fits well and works with the breechlock press. Although slower than a turret press, my reloading is not factory style anyway. Each round gets personal attention.
Review: Works great! - I was reloading 38 specials and 10mm on this lovely hand press. Obviously, it's not as fast as a stationary press but it does allow you to have freedom. It does have a removal breech lock quick change bushing to allow quick removal of dies without having to unscrew and readjust. Hold the black button near where the dies goes in, twist, and pop out. However, the breech lock bushing is quite expensive at $10 per 2-pack on the lee website, so you would need one for each die. And knowing how us gun people are, we want to load em all! lol. Depending on cartridge, you may get a good workout on the sizing die when sizing hundreds of brass, so you'll get buff in no time. The hand press is pretty solid, but the way the metal clanks leads me to think the metal may break if I accidentally drop it hard on a solid floor. All in all, I really like it, and it's worth it if you want the portability. Oh, do yourself a favor and get a hand priming tool and save yourself the hassle of picking up one primer at a time (you would need to buy the ram prime at $15, but not buy the auto-prime XR for $25?) I like the RCBS universal priming tool, fast, easy, and it is a sturdy solid metal.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to reload 9 mil, can it do it and second can I use rcbs dies?**
A: It can do it. I have one set of RCBS dies for a 30-06. I prefer the carbide dies that you can buy through Lee for all pistol loading. A set of dies is less than $30 from Lee.

**Q: Want this with universal decapping die for removing primers prior to tumbling. Do I need a shell holder for each cal for that?**
A: Yes, You need a shell holder (for caliber) and I also purchased a Lyman universal de capping die, thru Amazon for about $22.....

It works fantastic...Quick & Easy...Much easier than running then thru my sizing/recapping die...

The only downside, and it’s very minor, is the “ram” fills up with primers, and has to be emptied every 50-75 primers...No re adjustments, just remove the shell holder, and turn it over....

It definitely is the right tool, for the job....Joe

**Q: can I reload 50 ae**
A: I know this question is a little old but I thought I would go ahead and let others know that yes you can reload 50 AE and 500 S&W.

**Q: is this the breech lock or the old style? thanks**
A: It has the breech lock style quick change bushing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact and effective
*by B***L on October 7, 2010*

I have reloaded ammunition for about 20 years, and this is the only type of press that I have ever owned, because this hand press is compact, portable, and plenty strong. Using this press is like using a laptop computer instead of a desktop, which I also prefer. I don't need to maintain a reloading bench or go to a special room for reloading. This press makes it convenient to pull out a medium sized box from time to time and go to any location that I might choose and load up a few hundred rounds. There may be faster ways, but this method is not slow for hobby work, and the convenience is hard to beat. I bought my latest press as a spare; nothing is wrong with the first one that I bought. Incidentally, there is nothing "cast iron" about this item, if that description happens to come up; it is cast aluminum with several steel parts. It is light in weight but nice and strong for the job it has to do. In my personal experience, Lee manufactures excellent products, and their price is good.
