Lee hand loader?
LunaticFringeInc:
I have two of the Lee hand presses in addition to several bench mounted presses and I use the Lee hand presses quiet a bit. Given your situation this sounds like about as perfect of an arrangement as your likely to find. The kitchen table or even a computer desk in your room should prove adequate for a place from which to work from. Im a full time RVer and I often use mine at the dinette table and use one of the electronic powder measures to dispense powder for my loads and a few other tools and items to do my reloading. It works fine for me. Dont see why it wouldnt work for you. The hand press is simple, fairly robust from a durability stand point. Being compact it will store in a small tote in the closet or under the bed when not in use. It is a bit slow to use so its not something a competitive shooter would want but for the average joe loading a couple hundred rounds for a range session should be easy to pull off. I think they are well worth the bit of pocket change they cost.

Hand press is a great option for those with limited budgets or space. I used one for the first few years of reloading. I still have it hanging on my loading center to set up my FCD for calibers I use it on. It's nice to have the flexibility when you have a single stage main. ;)

The Lee Hand Press was my only press for 15 years and I reloaded 308 and 30-06. I have a turret press and a bench mounted single stage and still use the hand press when I want to size/deprime while watching tv with the family. Probably the best money I ever spent on reloading equipment.

I use both the Lee Classic (hammer tapper) Loader, and the Lee Hand Press. Both work well, but hand press is faster. I load 44mag, 357max, and 223rem, 50 cases at a time, occasionally a 100. For that work load, the hand press is fine. Get one along with standard dies, its perfect for an apartment dweller.
