====.50 BMG and larger cartridge presses====
Reloading presses for reloading .50 BMG and larger cartridges are also typically caliber-specific, much like shotshell presses, as standard-size rifle and pistol reloading presses are not capable of being pressed into such exotic reloading service.  The reloading of such large cartridges is also much more complex, as developing a load using a specific lot of powder can require nearly all of a 5&nbsp;lb. bottle of powder and a load must be developed with a single load of powder for reasons of safety.
