Stumbled across this Meepos literature that I thought was interesting. Now I need to find a sizer or loader to go with it. It is postmarked Nov. of '46

Good luck on finding a sizer or loader. Seems to be a few more sizers than loaders.

I have two of the sizers and love them. Almost as good as my Star.

Thanks. I didn't know of the loader until I saw the literature. I'll keep watching for a sizer. The hunt is part of the fun.

Meepos was a Penn. made tool. It was advertised in the American Rifleman so it got nationwide expouser but was only sold through Arlunds. The single station press came first followed by a two station tool. The sizer was the last offered and is very scarce. The presses are not all that common either. Finding a complete die set is almost impossible.
Two weeks ago a two station press with many, many dies sold on eBay for enough that I was going to need a second mortgage so I passed. So they are out there, the hunt is the fun part.

Please, I would like to have PDF scans of the literature also. Thanks

A scan of the sizer lit would be great! I have collected 2 of the sizers and really like them. Even had dies made for them, now I use them quite a lot.

BCall, the Missouri slogan is Show Me, so where are the pictures!!!!!

You are the first person that I know that has or has seen these sizers therefore we need pictures.

Clever dies, made out of a 1/2x20 grade 8 bolt --

Pressman, the only pic I have right now is in this thread-
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?158213-Meepos&highlight=meepos

One has a brass color reservoir the other one is silver. On the side it says Meepos Gun Shop the LA Calif, and Speedlube on the bottom. I thought I read that they made another version of them, but I have never seen one.

Here's my Meepos reloading press.

I'd love a pdf of those instructions myself. Ephemera are always a fantastic find; much rarer than the items themselves.

I have a Speedlube too; can't find the picture I took. I'll have to post it later.

I made a longer handle shaft as this one pictured was too short.

The dies are made from 5/8" bolt not 1/2".

Received and scanned the 2 meepos pamphlets. They are large files between 4 and 5 meg (times 4) each so not sure how to share them other than e-mailing them. I tried scanning at a lower res. and they did not look good. If you send me your e-mail address I will send them or if there is a better way I am all ears!

DANGIT! I wish I hadn't read this thread... now I've got something else on my list of things I "didn't know existed but can't do without." Would you guys slow down a little, I'm going broke! :roll:

That's a pretty slick-looking sizer system, I wonder why it didn't catch on.
