May 13, 2019 · It doesn't take super strong press to reload pistol and rifle ammo. The big brusers really shine when doing case forming and bullet swaging operations. If you are not doing case forming and bullet swaging, there no sense in having an A-2 or similar press. Any cast iron press from Lyman, Pacific, Herters, CH, RCBS and Redding will do the job you ...

Feb 3, 2021 · My uncle started reloading with this press back around 1950. He had a job where he was out in the middle of nowhere for a few months. He had lots of free time due to being isolated. So he decided to take up reloading. I'm so excited to obtain his old press. I'm taking it apart cleaning and lubing it. It is missing the shell plate holder.

Jun 9, 2017 · I've been thinking about upgrading from my cheap Lee aluminum press for a few years now but I've loaded thousands of vintage military rounds with it with no problems- until today.

Mar 30, 2011 · Those presses use H-ram shell holders. You may already know this, but you can purchase universal H rams or H-Ram adaptors from CH4D (CH4D.com) so you can use common shellholders like RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, Lee, etc. Otherwise you will have to by an entire ram set for each caliber you want to reload...could get expensive that way!

Feb 12, 2022 · I'm planning on purchasing a new press for reloading rifle only. I'm having a hard time deciding between the Dillion 550C and a Forester CO-AX. Any help, including pros and cons, y'all could provide is much appreciated.

Feb 17, 2012 · As some have suggested, clamp the press on the table in various places, and go through the motions of a full reloading cycle. You'll know what feels good to you. As for mounting the press, nothing you will do on a press should take over 3 to 4 pounds pull on the handle. If it takes more, something is wrong.

Jan 13, 2012 · Back in the late 1950's at least the C-H "C" press used the head size specific rams and you had to buy extra rams to get a different head sizes to load. I had one until just recently and sold it. Later the same press was made with the "universal" ram that would take any of the modern standard shell holders.
