[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2243089, member: 711"] The lyman T-Mag turret press has the advantage of allowing the lever to be mounted for left handed operation. I echo the above recommendations for a turret press. I have a few friends with Parkinsons, so am familiar with some of what you are probably dealing with. My friends all seem to function best in the morning. I think the operation of a progressive press is going to offer challenges you may not enjoy. Here's a link to the T-Mag 2: [url]http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/presses-and-kits/Lyc_RPK_Tmag.php[/url] You can probably beat the price somewhere else. I have one of these, and an older T-Mag. They are strong. I would not be reluctant to use a cheater bar (pipe extension) if I needed it for case forming or some other high strength activity. I use the T-Mag 2 for heavy stuff, and the older press for production work. Most turret presses are set up with the lever in the middle, rendering "left-right" a non issue. Redding makes probably the best turret press, and is priced accordingly. Their turret heads have seven positions. One of the best things about turret presses is that once you get a set of dies dialed in, you never have to mess with them again. You can purchase additional turret heads if you get into more than a couple of calibers. I think I currently reload about ten different calibers, and have enough heads so I seldom have to remove dies. If you are going to reload for semi auto pistols, the Lee final crimp die is a really good item. No feeding problems if you use this, and Lee stuff is very inexpensive. I also like their crimp dies for rifle ammo. (This is likely to ignite something--crimping is a source of considerable disagreement among reloaders.) My work is slow this summer. I'm old, semi retired, and have some medical issues, so I also have some time on my hands. I am far from the most expert in reloading on this forum, but will be happy to offer any assistance you may need if it's within my reach. [/QUOTE]
