I like old presses

[Gelandangan]

Chargar,
That green turret press next to your Pacific Super C, what make and model is it?

[Idaho Sharpshooter]

I got one you'd like. It is a 6-stage "Jordan" model by Cameron Mfg Corp in Emporium, Pennsylvania. It has specialty dies, sort-of a round Dillon with a round collar that holds the dies and a handle on the top. It has dies for 38/357 and 44sp/44 Magnum. It is just too cool for words.

NOTE: the A4 is RCBS's finest IMHO. Got three.

I have an RCBS A-2, an old Lyman Comet, a blue Pacific C Super press, 310s, and a Lee hand press. Of the lot of them, my favorite is the RCBS A-2. It is awesome.

Gelandagan -- That is a Redding. It is the six hole version. The current production Redding turrent has seven holes. I like the press just fine and use it for pistol loading, although it is just fine for rifle as well.

I like the old ones two. I use a rcbs 2a made from 59-61 and a rcbs rock c. Made 1973

Bowhunter,

The 2A is very nearly the same color as your A, kind of a dirty gray/od color.

I thought so, I also own the same!

I got both same presses and uses them both too!
I also own an Australian Simplex.

One of the best things about old presses is the men who used them. Being able to connect a well known to a press is unique at best.
I got this Jordan from an estate because I wanted an original Jordan. It was dirty beyond description so I did not look at it very close.
When I got it home I found it was not an original but one of the Cameron MFG presses. Nothing wrong with that except I already have on identical to it. Oh well.

Then I decided to give it a good bath and I found the little brass plate on the base inscribed: Made by Careron Mfg Corp for Phil Sharpe. Way neat.
It has dies for 38 spl and 45 acp.
