    Now someone builds a press...After I have bought 6 Lee presses and one RCBS. LOL!!!! Fantastic-looking work. Great concept to rotate the die plate instead of the shell holder like Lee does. If there is enough room between the die plate and ram, once could load .50 caliber just by building another plate and drilling and tapping it for the larger dies.

    What do you have for powder metering
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    with the proper dies it is possible to make from .32 to 556 Nato

    Depending on what specific 50 caliber round you are thinking about, there may not be enough travel for the cartridge length, or enough strength to properly resize that large case.

    I don't remember the name right now (Hollywood I think) but back in the 50's-60's there was a similar press like this but the center shaft was about 4-5" in diameter ant the top plate held 6-8 dies, powder measure etc.
    What kind of license/permit is needed to own a firearm in Brazil. My daughter in law is from Brazil.
