Loadmaster - but not a Lee

[SlimTim]

This is reportedly a Texan press called a Loadmaster if I read the scant description correctly. Anyone ever encountered one of these?

TIA,

That kinda looks like a Hollywood Junior press (?). Pretty cool looking.

That is a Holywood Junior, the Texan Loadmaster is a 7 station turret press. that Hollywood has a curve in the handle, that is not normal ans I would say is a bad thing as the handle was cast steel.

Thanks for the skinny. The seller listed it and a shotshell press both as Texan Loadmasters. I had emailed before posting the picture, but haven't heard back. Perhaps it's a good thing.

I appreciate the info.

Definitely not a Loadmaster. I helped a buddy set up an old Texan last year and it's more like a MEC 600 than the piece you're describing.

Here is the other press the seller is offering with the press above. I gather this is a Texan Loadmaster.

Still no contact from the seller. If anyone is in Houston, TX, the press is there and I'll pass along info.

That's a Texan Loadmaster Model "D", to the best of my knowledge, but it's missing some parts. Most notably the top assembly, containing the powder & shot reservoirs, along with the powder/shot slide assembly. There's also a sizing die that follows the case around to each station, but I can't remember exactly what it looks like.
