What press is this?

I cant find the name or where to buy one with the right dies.

That's called an arbor press. Those dies you see are precision hand dies made for use with the arbor press. They do NOT full-length-resize, only neck size.

Bench rest shooters are the ones that use that sort of set-up, they usually load right on their bench while shooting.

Usually with a powder measure that costs some bookoo bucks also. Alot of those 6MM benchrest guys with 500 paint jobs on their guns. Nice to shoot 1 hole groups, but not for that type of money IMO.

Hello, Ervin. Check out Sinclair International, Inc. Their affliated now with Brownells. I have the Wilson chamber type bullet seating dies with Sinclair micrometer adj. top, in .22 Hornet & .222 Rem. I can seat bullets with palm of hand...don't need press. These are great for load development at range.
And they are not just for bench-rest type rifles.

Ervin, you can pre load a case except for the bullet and seat them at the range and you can adjust seating depth at the range and see instant result. You never have to worry about pulling bullets again on a load that doesn't work out.

One problem you can run into using Wilson dies is with some factory chambering may not fit the dies due to a generous cut chamber. Best call Wilson send them afew fired cases and they fit the dies to the case you just have to pay shipping both ways.

I seat everything with arbor seating dies which includes my new varmit rifle in 222 mag that I just got today. Well good luck
