the CH 202 any input or experience?

[Oklahoma Rebel]

I am about to get a CH 202 from a friend online are they pretty strong? it is replacing a 30$ lee press that I broke in a day, cast pig iron... any exp or input is appreciated. on the front of the c shaped frame there are bolt holes that look like it is for some kind of re0enforcing piece, I could make one but is it necessary?

The 202 is a basic cast-iron single station "C" press. The front holes are most likely for an automatic primer feeding attachment. The bottom hole might be for a primer seating arm. I'm working from a vague memory of the press. It was a typical , old school, iron press.
CH4D is now the company name, they have replacement parts, universal rams, shell holders, adapters, primer seating arms and the auto-primer feeder they sell might work with it also.
The 202 is basic , well made rugged press. No bells or whistles but I would use it in a heartbeat .
