I just set up two of these and I am setting shoulders back and forming 308 brass into 22 creed
Let me assure you after attempting this on my other Redding, Hornady and RCBS presses ,,these
are without a doubt the best .... You are not going to get anymore rigidity and strength in a single stage press for the money than this thing.

Absolute beast ... And I got these things for $300 each on Black Friday sale

Solid Cast Iron Hooded design ...and the ram is massive ...
The power in that stroke is 50 bmg capable....they weigh a ton...

ingenius primer cup is cam locked and contained ,,,no spent primers
clogging up a skinny tube , none on the floor etc...

They did the homework on this one...


ohh and did I mention disco lighting ? :LOL:
 
FA has some good stuff.
I have 2 of their single stage presses. The F1.
Only issue I had was a set screw fell out of the ram which keeps the stop from turning when it is ran.
Emailed them asking for just the set screw and they sent me a whole new Press. Now I have 2

I have the turret version of this press, and it’s been great minus the one flaw that I’ve found. I’m currently on my second one, which has also ran into the same issue as my first one the warrantied. The lowest hinge pin, I’m unsure what they actually call it has sheered on both of them. I’ve been in contact with FA and am currently working with them to resolve the issue. From what I can tell the holes that are bored through the pin, which I assume is probably hardened leaves very little mass left around the OD of it. That added with the torsional force of resizing brass and actuating the ram up and down causes it to sheer right at the hole.
