Just now saw Maven’s post. Good information.

As a stand alone measure, not on a progressive press, I think it will work fine. But that is MY opinion. You have to decide for yourself. I suggest that you dig around the internet for as much...

Sorry, my thoughts and content were not organized well; I had just woke up from a late nap.

Your particular measure is a second generation made out of cast aluminum alloy, so you are correct, the...

rayh is correct, it is a modified Hollywood PM. And HW did not have a custom shop, but they would honor certain requests that did not deviate too much from the norm, like different size die holes...

I may have half of an answer.

All I can remember is “Tec” in the name. They also made powder measures.

Pressman knows all about them.

Just visited the website and could not find one available for Ruger 10 mm GP 100 or SRH.

I have hunted all over Texas and have never had any problems with the elements.

I lived and hunted in North Texas and East Texas. I have hunted in Central and West Texas as well. Talk about dust,...

That frame of the Texan press came in both cast iron and aluminum, I have both. If I had to guess, I’d say yours is iron. However, the weak link to both of those Texans is the aluminum handle used...

As kids we would tie a string around their bodies and spin in circles as they flew. Kind of like those motorized model planes with lines attached to them.

For those interested there is a Hollywood Super Turret up for bid on everyone’s favorite auction site. It’s not mine, I hope some member here gets it.

I have a full set, 410-12 ga Hollywood non electric irons. They are basically a sized, smooth metal rod with a knurled handle. You set them on a hot plate or torch them briefly to recondition the...

My understanding is the same as skeettx.

I’ve seen larger irons on the Herters model 72/73 and some Hollywoods. The larger iron shape and size was more along the lines of those hand held battery...

Years ago an Aussie shot at a match that I was at in New Mexico. He told me that he always always brought back home the maximum amount of brass that he could get into the country with. I forgot what...

I have a lot of air in my shop. And all of my connectors are cheap Chinese junk that wear out within a year or two, that is IF they even work from the start!

I had the Ingersol Rand repair man...

Bob currently owns Hollywood Reloading Tools.

He has your Primer posts and lots of other parts.

You will enjoy setting primers on your HW. It has a great “feel”.

Congrats on one cool gun!

I think a lot of businesses are just overloaded due to COVID repercussions. I get similar situations with various online stores. And constant computerized phone problems with the bank, insurance,...

I gave up. The more I wrote, the more I needed to write. It just got too deep for me to write. I probably just got too nerdy.

There are much more skilled writers here than me that can articulate...

I had good results using a chunk of lead a bit smaller than the screw hole for similar endeavors. If you cast bullets then various sizes of lead chunks can be found in the shop. If not, pull a 22...

I like the beefy 234 press. It operates nice and smooth. Once I got used to the slant, I was good to go. My reloading shed became a storage shed so I don’t use it anymore. If I had the space I’d...

It takes Herters shell holders, same as the model #3. If you want to use the standard snap in shell holders then you will need to buy a couple of the adapters.

Agree totally! Until Colt gets rid of that Union they will always be overpriced for what you get.

Sorry I’m a computertard. I can’t figure out how to post pics. I used to do it with ease on Tapatalk, but they complicated the process and I can’t post pics any longer.

To answer the original...

So what’s stopping a guy who bought a rare press in S.Cal and moving to S. Dakota?

I don’t recall seeing a M. Minor since the 60’s. One of our neighbors had a red one. I remember seeing a white one around town as well. I think those are the only two I’ve ever seen. So, I would say...
