The Area 419 The Zero is a turret-style reloading press built for repeatable die indexing and larger case work. It features a zero-slop turret head that eliminates variability when changing dies and a bearing-guided ram for efficient energy transfer. The press is noted to offer an extended and repeatable ram position, and it is manufactured in the United States using American materials.
