    Linear Reloading Press

    Linear reloading press made by a manufacturer long since forgotten.
    It's an interesting design and functions.
    Parts for it are not shown but included.
    Asking $300 plus shipping.

    Fairly certain it is setup for 38 as most were back then. I may have another shell plate in the parts for it.

    Edit: The shell plate or slider is fairly simple so others could be made by a modestly competent machinist.

    This reminds me of a ransom loader and a ch.

    I dare say it's home made????

    Can you post pictures of the extra parts please?

    Cash only sale or are you interested in trades?

    It's definitely not homemade and was discussed on this forum in the past. I just don't remember the maker's name. There were several linear type reloaders made at the time including later variants and the better known CH Auto Champion, RCBS Green Machine. I have an Auto Champion Mark IV for sale elsewhere.

    I'll post photos of the parts when I find them.

    Cash only. I'm disposing of all of my reloading equipment.

    Here's a photo of the parts. I couldn't find or never had the powder hopper tube, prime tube or casing tube. All are easily replaced with parts from other manufacturer's equipment or from McMaster-Carr, etc. Otherwise the reloader looks complete without dies.
