AREA 419 THE ZERO GEN 2 RELOADING PRESS In April of 2020, Area 419 released the ZERO. It was a product that changed the reloading space, raising the bar for quality, precision, and overall altering the expectation of what a premium reloading tool should look, feel, and act like. Now, after many thousands of presses sold, to all corners of the earth, to shooters of all types and disciplines, it’s time for the second generation. This is a generational update, taking all the things they have learned about how consumers are using the press, how they make them, and what is possible for a reloading press, while keeping as many compatibility features with the Gen 1 as possible. The ZERO Gen 2 features the following changes from Gen 1 A FIRMER LINKAGE: The Gen 1 was built around the idea of seating your shellholder to the bottom of your die. While we still consider that the best way to size brass, customers asked for a firmer bottom of the stroke so they could cam-over and float the shellholder below a die. Done. A SMOOTHER STROKE: The ZERO, since day 1, has been the smoothest press on the market. After thousands of presses, however, they have found ways to make each stroke even smoother on every press, starting with the first strokes. This improvement is subtle, but very real, and one that both new owners and longtime ZERO owners will appreciate. CREATURE COMFORTS: By doing small things, like adding a detent to the primer tray, and a torque tool storage slot to the side of the press, they continue to move forward with our commitment to ergonomics at the bench. FULL GEN 1 ACCESSORY COMPATIBILITY: Making this update was important to Area 419, but they didn’t want to make it and leave existing customers in the cold. You will be able to use your same press stands, storage trays, shellholders, turrets (you may need to check your die adjustment, due to the linkage change), and other ZERO Accessories with no issues. OTHER FEATURES: The ZERO remains the pinnacle of precision reloading presses, manufactured in Ohio, from American raw materials, by American workers. The core of the movement is a custom machined PTFE lined bearing, guiding the precision ground and polished ram with exceptionally high repeatability and low friction. Each press is hand measured and fitted, mating the ram and the bearing, ensuring the most precise ram stroke on the market – ZERO doubt about that. The linkage system will also glide on bearings and custom hardware which will allow Area 419 to assemble the system with near-ZERO slop. The operation of the oversized ram, with the .75″ steel arm and ZERO-friction knob will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. The turret system retains the original design, and is secured using a, over-sized, custom-made ZERO-point pull-stud, and the turret will be located using an oversized ball-detent system. Changing the position of the turret from one die to another will require only a turn of a (supplied) t-handle. When indexing the turret, repeatability variance of the system will be less than .0005″. The opening in the press will allow for sizing and seating of cases up to 338LM and will accept standard 7/8″ dies and standard shellholders. The press CAN be used for Cheytac-class reloading but may (depending on your die setup and bullet length) require you to “scoop” the bullet into the seating die and down into the case before seating. Area 419 has designed a decapping/primer-catch system into the body of the press, eliminating goofy surgical hoses and baby food-like jars. A simple detent retained slide-out tray will make this mundane process smooth, simple, and unobtrusive. They will ship all presses with a standard bolt-down plate. The zero-slop turret head allows you to change between dies, eliminating the variability induced when removing and resetting dies The turret head allows the press to work with multiple die-attachments (7/8 thread standard, 1-1/4 thread; must purchase separate) without goofy thread-stacking adapters The available ram-stroke here is 4.4″, allowing you to use it on significantly large cases Total opening of 4.75″, with no unnecessary shellholder protrusion at the bottom of the stroke The extended ram position will be more repeatable than any ram-style press on the market More efficient energy transfer from handle to ram via bearing-guided motion throughout the system Adjustable/interchangeable handle setup for maximizing leverage/feel based on operation Internally contained primer-catch system, eliminating baby food jars and surgical hoses hanging from your press Made in America, from American materials SPECIFICATIONS: Weight: 28 lbs Dimensions: 22 × 15 × 10 in Turret: 7/8" (Standard), Hybrid
