New press announcement from Area 419
- Thread starter Olen_4504
- Start date
I'm in on the next batch. My Forster will be on the market shortly there after.
We are expecting more foam Th or Fr of this week, so whenever we get the rest of this batch in boxes and moving, we will open up another round. The next round acts like it's going to ship around Thanksgiving. If you're not on the waitlist (go to the product page on Area419 dot com and sign up) you need to get that way!
I’m wanting to know the same thing. I know I should have pulled the trigger on the 1st round and kicking myself that I didn’t. Hopefully the 2nd go-round isn’t to much longer. Wishful thinking Christmas- New Years delivery....
Mins 904xx ... from mid July. Cant wait to try this puppy. Get to use my warner 1 1/4 resizing dies (3) with my SAC seating dies --- thats awesome. Get to have a dedicated 45-90 and 45-70 balckpowder turret - setting those up each time has been a PITA. so going to be nice to load the turret heads and leave em alone
Looks like Monday will start our pack/ship again with a UPS semi coming on Wednesday to pick up the pallets.
I'd expect orders for Thanksgiving shipment to open up again in the Monday/Wednesday timeframe.

we will be receiving the remainder of our needed packaging on Monday, 10/19, and will begin to pack more. We expect all customer orders and domestic dealer orders will leave here on 10/21 when UPS sends a semi for pickup. Given the fact that this will be 9-10 pallets of presses weighing about 850lbs per pallet, they’ve asked us not to try to get these all on a standard UPS box truck for obvious reasons.
Mine arrived this afternoon. It’s beautiful. I’m going to mess around with it and establish some first impressions.
Big thanks to the 419 Crew.

That's certainly a nice looking press.
Some of the features are very well thought out. The revolving plate to hold different dies may be my favorite.
Unfortunately I'm not flush with cash anymore, and I see this press more as a luxury then something that's going to add a lot of functionality over current cheaper presses, but I can see why some would want this for their reloading room.
I'm curious to hear if anyone's reloads actually improve with this press, or if it's more of a high end luxury item.
Any way you can give a measurement for top of turret to bottom of press?
Thank you
Jospeh
Many of the QD plates and Ultramounts have already shipped with more going out all the time. You'll have your mount before or at the same time as your press
What’s the word on the in-line fab case eject system being modified/released for the Zero press?
Being able to flick a sized case out with my left hand while holding/putting another case in at the same time with my Co-Ax (and the zero looking like I’d need to make two handlings of brass) is the only reason I haven’t ordered one yet.
When you’re sizing a few hundred a week or at a single sitting, being able to keep my right hand on lever and not having to handle brass twice with my left hand, adds up.

I checked in-line's website and I don't see one for the Co-ax, but I would love one myself.
Why? Just place a box in front of press and flick out the sized case as you insert the unsized case.
No. I said I flick the brass out with my left hand as I insert the next. The Co-ax allows this because of the jaws. A shell holder would require the ejector which is why I asked about the zero being compatible.
I have the shell holder conversion in my CoAx and I think it is even easier to flick out the cases than the jaws. I'm sure the Zero will work just as well but may be harder to find a box or tray that will fit under the ram without the handle arm interfering.
Dan @ Inline is going to do one, though I don't know his timeline.
Agreed. I think it’s going to need a ramp to function properly. I’ll likely grab a zero once that is available.
We printed your label today, but as noted in my comment from a week ago, they are not being picked up by UPS until tomorrow. Don't want you feverishly checking the tracking and then emailing to ask why it isn't moving!
I know it hasn’t been long, any initial impressions or quick reviews? I see the ordering is open again 
I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but fit and function are beyond anything I've ever owned. I purchased based purelyI know it hasn’t been long, any initial impressions or quick reviews? I see the ordering is open again
on ergonomics (limited dexterity in both hands), and so far it's everything they said it would be, and then some.
Apparently, I'm dancing to a song only I can hear, since I do things in the "not normal" way. I operate a press and primer seater with my
left hand and sit off at about 45 deg. from center to the right. There's more than ample clearance on both sides of the ram for fat fingers
that don't work so good.
148 of them left today, headed to a reloading bench near you. A few customer orders and then dealer orders still to be shipped.
Just a couple of pics of my limited space setup. I prefer for the press to sit back from the front of my bench top. Fortunately, it only took a little sanding to get it to fit in the cut out for the Co-ax
I whipped up a mounting plate out of some scrap I had laying around.

I'm unsure who has units that aren't already sold, but Anarchy Outdoors, Brownells, and Scheels all have multiples headed their way. Some other dealers have orders in, but I think those are personal units, just to see what they're all about before they push in a larger order.
New reloader, just got it. I've had an RCBS RS2 from a garage sale for $10 for a couple years that I cleaned up a couple weeks ago that was rusty and gummed up with grease. Yep, grease.
The zero press, makes that press look and feel exactly like the $10 I spent on it. Also, pictures, just don't do this thing any justice. Which I won't have any for awhile as I actually need to build a bench now. Going to be 2" square tubing with butcher block top. Have tubing, not really looking forward to all the welding. Pictures in the perfect reloading room thread Sunday most likely.

Really excited!! Just took the plunge and hopped into the 2nd round now that ordering opened back up earlier this week. The Zero along with the A&D FX120i, including the full 419 package.
Nobody was offering to preorder this for me for Christmas, so I had to do it myself 
you can send one anytime tho
Could NOT BE HAPPIER with this press. I wouldn't ever have expected anything less from the 419 crew. This will make changes in the industry, no doubt about it.
I have my ZERO next to my PRAZI and its giving it a run for its money.
The ZERO has NO linkage play, whereas the PRAZI has some(hardly any). Everything on the ZERO is so balanced. Ya'll will love it. Worth every singe penny.

Does that mean you are selling your prazi
Haha. No, ill be keeping it. I have the bigger 140mm. I need it for my 375 and 416 stuff.
Completely agree that area 419 has changed the game with the Zero. I’ve had mine for 10 days now and love it. Makes you wonder why no existing press manufacturer did this (or even attempted to) many years ago.
Innovation always comes at a price. But it’s great regardless, as it will move the entire industry forward over time. I have yet to see any ‘shortcomings’ of the Zero. It’s just amazing at everything it does. The feedback you get Is incredible. I haven’t had nearly enough time to see if there’s any measurable difference in runout etc, over a Co-Ax. Honestly, I don’t care at this point. The Zero makes the reloading process the most fun it’s ever been for me. And that’s why I shoot to begin with.
I’ll never go back.
