One of our members posted he was looking for one of these in the swap and sell.
Never saw one of these before. Interesting.
Anyone have/use one????

Looks like it takes standard shell holders and dies.
The die holder slides forward and back.
I wonder how good it is????
Like the duel ram press, it look like a good idea.

I have one in much better shape. Haven't used it yet.

Hi,
I'm looking at them!

Is yours aluminum also Lube?

I thought at first they were like my CH Champion (cast STEEL) with the sliding die bar!

Now THAT would be bad to the bone!!!

Oh yea, I found a RCBS Big Max!

It's currently tucked away. I haven't looked at it in a few years. I don't remember what is made of. I'm guessing aluminum if it is a model 206.

If it is not raining tomorrow I will go out to the shed and drag it out.

Hi,
Thanks, I'm looking for one, but admittedly thought they were iron or steel?

If I find one that is NOT aluminum I'm on it!

Seagiant - I pulled my 206 out and it is heavy, definitely not aluminum.

As seen in the picture, a magnet sticks to it very positive. Now the yoke may be aluminum. Paint has flaked on it and the magnet only sticks to because of all of the surrounding hardware, and it not as positive of a stick of the magnet.

Hi Lube,
PM inbound!

Hi,
I can't figure why they would make one out of aluminum and one out of iron and call both the model 206!

That's unique. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Hi Lube,
PM inbound!


Seagiant, if you sent a PM, I never received it.
