I find the exact opposite to be true, with my fingers ...... the 50 BMG is very easy handload due to the size of everything.
The hardest for me are the 17 Rem, getting powder through the tiny neck and small size of the pills and the 22 hornet due to the sometimes frail cases, you can easily render them useless with a stroke of the press.
