Lyman Brass Smith Ideal Press 1-Hole Single Stage - Cast Iron

The Lyman Brass Smith Ideal Press is a 1-hole single-stage reloading press built around a heavy-duty cast iron C-frame for the strength and rigidity handloaders expect from Lyman. Cast from solid iron rather than aluminum, the Ideal provides a stable, short-stroke platform that resists flex during sizing, depriming, and bullet seating operations.

Designed with compound linkage for optimum leverage, the press features a 1" diameter ram and a generous 3-7/8" press opening, giving it the clearance to handle all pistol calibers and rifle cartridges up to 3.700" in length. The Ideal accepts all standard 7/8"x14 reloading dies, making it a versatile starting point for both new and experienced reloaders.

Its ambidextrous operating position makes the Brass Smith Ideal equally comfortable for right- and left-handed reloaders working at the bench. Whether you are working up precision rifle loads or assembling pistol ammunition, the Lyman Brass Smith Ideal Press delivers Lyman's signature combination of strength, simplicity, and value in a single-stage reloading press.
