I forgot to mention, I bought mine in a RCBS kit in 1981. It came with a set of scales, a powder measure and dies. The gunshop only had one in 30/30, but they swapped out the dies for a set of RCBS 223 and added a set of 308 dies. The kit has paid for itself many times over and apart from a few paint chips, is like new. I have kept it well lubed and grease the shaft with graphite grease (messy as, I might have to go to a cleaner alternative as I have it set up inside now).

I just plucked one from a local pawn shop for $30 . Needs a nut for the handle but is otherwise in as new condition .

Heck of a deal IMO
Another RC of 1979 vintage. Countless tens of thousands of rounds produced. Still as tight today as it was then. Copious amounts of lubrication, often applied, is the press' best friend....
