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.
