Lee 90045 Reloading Press Cast Aluminum

The Lee Precision 90045 cast aluminum reloading press is a versatile single-stage press built for shooters who need reliable, no-nonsense equipment without breaking the bank. Its C-frame design delivers the hand clearance that makes reloading comfortable—whether you're processing rifle brass, handgun rounds, or switching between tasks. The ambidextrous design works equally well for right- or left-handed operators, and the balance lever won't drop down to catch your fingers during repetitive work.

This press accepts standard 7/8 x 14 thread dies, so you're not locked into proprietary accessories. It also works with standard Universal Press Shell Holders, giving you flexibility to build a reloading setup that fits your workflow and budget. Thanks to the Lee Breech Lock feature, die changes are quick and repeatable, which keeps your setup time down and lets you focus on consistent ammunition.

Many reloaders pick up a second press to streamline production: keep one set up for decapping fired brass while another handles bullet seating or sizing. The cast aluminum construction keeps weight reasonable while maintaining the strength needed for reliable operation across calibers. Whether you're loading for hunting, precision rifle matches, or regular range work, this press pairs well with your existing Lee equipment or serves as a capable standalone option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies and shell holders work with this press?

The Lee 90045 accepts standard 7/8 x 14 thread dies and standard Universal Press Shell Holders, so you have broad compatibility with common reloading accessories from Lee and other manufacturers.

Can I use this press if I'm left-handed?

Yes. The press is designed to work equally well for both right- and left-handed operators, so you can set it up comfortably regardless of your dominant hand.

Is this press suitable for a dedicated decapping or sizing station?

Absolutely. Many reloaders keep a second Lee press permanently set up for a single task—like decapping, bullet seating, or sizing—to speed up overall production and minimize die changes on their main press.

What's included with the press?

The press itself is included. Mounting hardware such as the Lee Bench Plate system is sold separately as an accessory.
