In April of 2020, we 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. It was our largest project ever, an item that the internet told us would never sell, and a major gamble for Area 419.

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 we have learned about how consumers are using the press, how we 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, we 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, we continue to move forward with our commitment to ergonomics at the bench.
• FULL GEN 1 ACCESSORY COMPATIBILITY: Making this update was important to us, but we 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.

Additional Features:

• 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 currently, 1-1/4 thread, and future unreleased stuff) 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
