Best Arbor press

[Hausser]

I am looking into purchasing an arbor press for reloading. I do not shoot competitions and these are for hunting rounds and just fun shooting long range with friends. I would like to know what everyone’s preference is. I would like to keep this strictly to an arbor press and not seating dies. I know there are more options but these are the three I have been looking at.

I have a K&M, and it works great. I have no experience with the others.

An arbor press is a pretty simple tool. I can’t see one being far superior to the other.

That said I use a K&M with a force pack/gauge on it.

I am leaning to K&M because they are cheaper, I was concerned with the short handle on the K&M. I am hoping that those who have owned different ones can chime in on why they use the one they do. I really don’t need an amp press especially for 1400.00.

I have loaded thousands of rounds on a k&m. One positive of the short handle is you can immediately tell how much pressure it’s taking, versus a longer handle.

I would really like the amp press but I can’t justify that, it would be the last tool to upgrade if I had everything else already.
