Steve, to be fair, I attempted to FL size a few LC 62 '06 once fired military cases I had lying around. The handle travel is about 120 degrees total movement. You start out pulling it toward yourself, then to finish the stroke you are pushing it downward. When the ram reaches the die, the handle is parallel to the bench top. It is much easier to operate in the sitting position, less arm fatigue than standing. It will easily handle "normal" FL sizing chores. I use that big Redding for the tougher sizing jobs.

JB as cabin boy.. that's funny. Picture this: The Mayflower just pulls up to Plymouth Rock. In his thick Irish accent the ships captain is yelling at little JB..."There will be no shore leave for the likes of you until all this boats chamber pots are emptied and scrubbed!!!"

Nope, sorry to disappoint. Myself and a large body of water do not mix.
The Ex and I were in Daytona Beach in the mid 90's and took a boat excursion to watch the Dolphins play. The water wasn't all that bad, but with every wave I wanted to hurl. Probably not going to end up in Davey Jones locker. The odds are with me!

JB,
You should know better than to go out on a boat drunk.....
Watch the horizon, it'll help you from feeling so wonderful.

Mary, Maybe that was my problem, I don't drink. I would have made a real bad Pirate. Hoist the anchor, set the main sail we are off matey, Argh go ahead and swab the deck after you are done tossing your cookies you land lubber, says the Captain. Just wasn't meant to be a Sailor!
