    The Gun Clinic Priming MACHINE

    Found this several years ago while wandering the vendors at Camp Perry.

    I have not found a single reference to it online, very cool, very, very well built machine. It is in almost new condition for being 40+? years old.
    I have not used it yet. It takes square primer feed tubes. It took a little while to find the (almost) right size tubes.Click image for larger version.

    The shell holder in the front is marked 30-06 H&H. Held on with 4 screws.

    15 Meter, it's nice to see another one. I have never tried to use mine either though it looks to be very well made. I think the Bonanza primer tubes will work.

    I ended up getting the primer tubes @ an R/C store. I have a RCBS bench primer that I use all the time, that is absolutely cheesy in comparison to this thing.

    Guess I should set it up and try it sometime, I load multiple .473 case head calibers and both 300 and 375 H&H calibers.

    I only have the one shell holder, not sure where to even look to find any other sizes.

    This is the only place that I have seen that even recognizes the press.
