That was my first thought (50 BMG), but the hole for dies is tiny. Looks to be smaller than standard dies. Maybe a removable insert?

It looks to me like a LEE adaption on a Redding Press. LMAO

It can not possibly be a 50BMG set up. not long enough stroke.

Whatever it is I doubt if it comes with the press from Shiloh.It is certainly not mentioned with the ad listing.

I assume that there is a die that screws into the apparatus.

if that is the case you would have to extend the ram
it is not shown in the picture
I think has you say a die at top and a ram extension would permit this operation
given a loading window large enough for long cartridge
