shortrest stroke press

I use a Lee turret press which I've modified a bit to limit the length of the stroke for pistol cartridge reloading. First, install the standard Lee collar at the top of the ram, then attach a block under the collar to limit the downward travel of the ram--thus shortening the stroke. I made a neat wood block padded with leather. I also installed a shorter handle, which doesn't shorten the ram's travel, but it does shorten the handle stroke and thus makes the operation quicker and easier. Leverage has never been a problem, even with rather tall pistol cases being resized. This works!
