    The Magnum H press. They are good presses and can have more value than you think.
    You are right, do not take it apart as getting it back together and in perfect alignment can be difficult to do.
    Just clean it and oil it.

    Dunbar Press

    Saw this on an auction site. Knew it was rare, got it cheap. Cleaned it up and put it to work. Love it.

    It's either .38S or .357m, now it's set up for the 160gr. 'Knott' FWC in .38S.
    You noticed that custom handle heh? heheee...I busted my inertia puller and thought I might recycle it into a more comfy handle for this press.



    This press wasn't well received when RCBS released it, I think the main objection was the fail of a priming system. That's an easy workaround, I just don't prime on her.
    It's a gas to run, we are all so accustomed to the carousel progression of our modern presses that when you suddenly have one that constantly marches those cases out from left to right in a straight line, believe it or not it's a bit confusing.
    You have to stay on top of rotating the case delivery system too or you'll feed a blank space into the lineup and then when you fail to turn the powder delivery off for that blank coming through you dump a load of powder on the platen...running 'Granny' is a lot like driving an antique car, it's fun but you need to stay on top of things.
    Here's a feeble attempt to feature old Granny in a sort-of music video...

    Hey Charlie... I second the approval for your improvised handle... I may try that on one of my presses, then share with friends...

    "Hey StratsMan!"

    Every time I run Granny I think about your 'most generous' offer to put her in my hands!
    So many times I think of you when I'm setting her up for a run...if I haven't said it lately?

    Good stuff, that! Can I assume you are simply decapping and recapping, then loading the unsized but primed cases into the green tube, then doing sizing only at the first station? It looks like the whole process runs smoothly... too bad it doesn't have a well designed priming station, but then it would be pretty much perfect, huh?

    Yes, the cases I load have been deprimed & cleaned then primed...then run in the press.
    I do the same with the LnL, clean primed cases come to that press too.
    I am spoiled with the RCBS bench prime, I can feel perfectly the insertion and bottoming and best of all I can finger swipe the primed case without even looking at it as I toss it to the bin. That's just one of the ways I maintain quality assurance, I don't like problems, especially if they're caused by me.

    I like loading and am not overly concerned with pumping out volumes of ammo, just enjoy the efficiency of some of the presses.
