There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
The two silver presses in the foreground are the Dunbars.
The black ones in the background are all Hollywoods.
The only thing CH4D has for these presses are “H” style shell holders which are unlike the classic slip in types like RCBS. I reckon you could also say dies since any 7/8 X14 die work for those unless the presses are drilled for 1.5 inch dies, which CH4D carry in selected offerings as well.
Oh yeah, I believe the owner, Our own Kevin Roher (sp) got the red slip on grip from CH4D.

I liked the look of the two Dunbars. Do they use standard dies? Im assuming they dont use standard shell holders?
The Dunbars took Standard dies Only no Bushings. . 2 primer hole for Primer seating. there was no primer Feed system. Post war era. Listed first in Phil Sharps Book Complete guide to Handloading . 3rd edition 1953 . this was the only machine Dunbar made. They are very in demand. The classic H frame.

The original ones used specialized shell holders, but later adapters were made
to take regular shell holders.

They take the old-style, Hollywood-type shell holders. Ch/4D sells universal, Hollywood-style shell-holders that use modern shell holders. I sold one press but still have the other one, and even have Dunbar primer arms for it.
