looks like im going to be reloading the 505 Gibbs cartridge in the near future so I need a different press. unfortunately im strapped for cash so im looking to land a used Lee 50 BMG press for a reasonable price.

please shoot me a message if you have one or know where one can be found.

thank you

The lee used 1 1/8" dies. All others use 50bmg 1.5" dies and can use the factory bushings for reg dies. I do not know what the 505 die size is but you might keep it in mind. Also I have a Hornady press for my BMG and you might find one for a good price. I believe the regular hornady press is the same with a bushing for 1.5" to 7/8" for normal dies.
 
I was just informed on another forum that the lee cast press might work for the task and it much less expensive then the 50 bmg press.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
