Ch- model 205

for your inspection is a Vintage CH model 205. with the introduction of this press. It has fallen into a Unique Category call the Offset O design. The O press use around for a while But One of the early Complaints was You had to Play with the case to get into the shell Holder. Well Ch . devised a Press with easy feeding with The strength.
This press is a Heavy weight appox 20lb's. . It also Had a Unique offset curved Handle. The handle make it easy to complete the stroke without a lot of effort. Takes standard Shell holder and standard dies.
as Per collecting, CH i feel has been Neglected .
Most collector will by pass. CH products . . This press was The first Of It line and Now has evolved into The CH Champinion. Current Made
the press is strong easy to used . Like all CH products To last a Lifetime

Also, I’ve always wondered if Texan bought that offset handle for both of their single stage presses in aluminum and also iron. The Texan handle looks identical to the CH except for the CH cast markings.

Nice press, here's one I re-painted a few years ago......sold it!...should have kept it

Love seeing the older equipment. Things were made to last.

CH has always been special to me. Still have my 404 and 3 swsgeomatics several other items.

I have several CH , Ch4d equipment. Often overlooked But EXC quality , made Here and an Easy Bunch of Guys to talk to.
Dies are quality made

wow I have never seen that model.

Gents - It's a pleasure looking at nice clear pictures that have been cropped and sized to fit on the forum page without having to scroll Thanks!

The 205 Is a great strong . a little sloppy In todays terms But still does a Good job. CH is ofter overlook but worthwile

I bought a used one years ago. It has never given me a problem and it will probably still be going strong for generations to come.

I find I am getting partial to CH products. I have their case trimmer the priming/primer pocket swaging kit. Good stuff!

I use my CH 204 single stage press to load every caliber except my two main ones because for my two main calibers each has it's own Tru Line Jr. turret press. CH is certainly a beefy press. It is clearly made for long term, heavy use.

I had a C&H 205 Press for a little bit but decided to downsize and sold it and several more presses---dumb move. james
