Have any you purchased the adapter bushings for the Summit press? What is the thread pitch on the adapters? Thanks Troy

The Summit uses the standard 1-1/4x12 bushings like the Rockchucker and most presses. I use the Hornady LnL in mine.

It is the same as your current bushing in the top of the press. I currently have the LNL press conversion bushing in mine. There is a replacement where you unscrew the shellholder post and screw the adapter in. I left my Arbor conversion at home since it's hunting season now.

take care

Exactly. Need the dimensions of the ram adapter. I would like to use my CC or Ammomaster in conjunction with the adapters to utilize the LE Wilson seating dies

The ram sits behind the Shellholder adapter. The die moves not the brass case.
A quick call to RCBS states it is a 1/2X20 UNF 2a thread.

I'm loading the truck for a hunting trip a 1k miles away.

The Summit is a cool press. I bought it for the versatility of using LNL conversion or for the Arbor press work with Wilson dies. Nothing innovative in reloading as this press resembles the Wamadet press way too much. Later I will do a patent search to prove this.

If I remember right, there were threaded shellholders used by various older presses and I think CH4D carries them.

take care
