Greatest Shell Holder Since Sliced Bread

[pete501]

It was on the Hollywood Senior turret press I purchased.

Anybody seen one like this? Who made it?

Slick to use and fits everything from 22 hornet to 45-70. A real joy to own.

Very slick indeed !

Isn't that like the setup used on the Forster Co-Ax?
I think the Forster uses a 2 piece rim grip?

[Nueces]

Who was it that made those old adjustable shell holders - Shoffstall?

[cuzinbruce]

I think Shofstall is right.

That is really cool. To bad they did not catch on.

[pete501]

Thanks guys. I knew someone would know

BTW Sliced Bread does not work as a shell holder.

[too many things]

they didn't "catch on" because if you hang a case they were history and there is no one that hasn't done it . if the case hung the turner would not release the case . Herters had them for a while in the 70s

I don't think its so great either. My Lyman trimmer has a quick chuck on it. It's fine for that but I'd hate to have to tighten and loosen the shell holder for every round !!! I think it would be a terrible inconveince.

I use a case kicker on my single stage. It would useless with that shell holder. Its no wonder it never caught on.

Lee sells a 3 jaw chuck somewhat similar. Grips and holds most cals.

Lachmiller had one of similar design as well if I remember correctly.

Well pete501, in spite of the naysayers I hope it works out for Ya. And congrats on your Hollywood!

What do you mean by "hang", "hung"?
