Default Old Reloading Press

Works been a bit slower, so today I decided to breath new life into an old press.
It was custom made by my Grandfathers brother. He was a gunsmith, and Grandpa said he built it for him shortly after the war. Ive reloaded plenty on it, and it still works as good as any press. I did have to buy myself a new Redding Big Boss a few years back. The shell holder is also custom and will only work with anything that uses the same shellholder as the RCBS#3. I believe he said he originally built it so Grandpa could reload his 30/06 and later his .22 varminter


It was in pretty rough shape, so I stripped and polished the steel and painted it 2017 Chev Camaro green. Its actually called Green O'clock
